Step 3: Assemble Frame
If you're using wood glue, dab a little glue in each corner of the legs. Bottom shelf measurement is easy on this project, but if you want a raised shelf, measure and mark.
Assemble the side-rails and legs. The air-compressed nail gun makes this much easier. Put a single nail in each corner so the frame can still be adjusted for square.
Measure diagonally and adjust until both measurements equal.
Drill pilot holes and countersink holes to prevent wood splitting. When the wood splits it will eventually cause the bench to weaken and fail.
