Heavy Duty Porch Swing

Step 3 Porch Swing Skeleton

Here you have the skeleton of the porch swing mostly in place.

I dado-cut the pieces that ran lengthwise in the seat (those would be what it hung from eventually) and those slid into place nicely with the l-shaped back/seat pieces. I pre-drilled some holes and screwed each of those points together for extra stiffness. Then it was just a question of adding the top and front pieces and screwing everything in place without screwing anything up.
