Awesome! Let me know if you have any issues as you get into the build. I’ll try to help if I can. Pictures may be needed. 🙂

good luck!

Sharon,

I generally make my seat depths between 16-18 inches deep. You have to allow for the size of the leg. So the board might only be 14-16 inches long to allow for the width of the leg and the overhang in the front.

I hope this helps!

Great tutorial. In step 3 & 4. What length is that board? Ans is that a good standard seat width?

Ohhh yes! You must get a drill. My first good drill came from a pawn shop, still using it today!

I need a drill because doing it manually takes forever.
