Introduction: New Bench, Old Doors

By

Pretty easy project. I cut a solid door in half lengthways and then cut the length down to about 57 inches.

Step 1: Cutting Spacers and Seat

I cut 4 inch strips off the sides of 2 hollow core doors the same length. Then made 10 spacers out of old wood shelving. Then just started gluing and stacking.

Step 2: Last Step

After glue set I would pre-drill and fasten them together. Door/slat to spacer, repeat till I got to the solid end piece. Then I ran one long wood screw the entire width.
