great job…and all in a day!!! how did you attach the chains on the bottom…I can see how they go through the holes…but on the bottom/underneath did you put a solid block??? and how did you attach…

and great design!! did you follow a plan, photo, or all your imagination??? i want to build one and i like this design…

Matt, the chain goes under the bench and there is a block of wood that is glued and screwed to the bottom of the arm rest. As for the bench my wife found one on line that she liked and she found free planes. I couldn’t print them out. My printer is out of ink. So I looked at it and went out and started. The planes don’t tell you much so I just did it off the pictures. I changed the back rest to what my wife wanted. The round back was all her. It took all day to build I think it would have gone faster if I didnt glue everything. However I used gorilla glue for the contest and found that to be more of a challenge then the challenge its self. Only due to it foaming up every place I didnt want it to be. This was a fun challenge.
