Instruction: Seat wCut all wood pieces to specified lengths and sand everything to smoothen the wood. Cut each edge of the seat slats with a 1/4-inch router bit on the edges that wont butt up with other piece. Then plane the bevel into the slats of the seat. You can then secure the lower back rail by screwing it into the seat sides
with one screw per rail edge. Look for the square and then add another screw to fasten it up in place.
You can then istall the seat slats leaving a 1 inch space between each slat. Cut the sides of the front legs with 1/4-inch router bit. Attached the assembled seat with a screw from the inside to the outside.
Back
Cut one side of the back slats. The first end must be 2 1/4" wide and the other end must measure 3 1/4" wide. Sand the edges to smoothen them. Round 1/4" of the edges with the router. Clamp the prepared rear legs to the side rails. Create pilot holes using the drill and secure them with a screw. Connect the upper portion of the back legs to the top back. Then install the back slats starting with the center part, followed by the two outer parts and then work your way out to form a fan-shape pattern.
Arms Cut, sand and round edges of the arm with a router. Clamp and screw them in place. Use the 2-inch screws to secure the arms into the rear legs and front legs.
