The Bench Project – Part 1

In the beginning, there was a bench but

just on paper.

These are most of the tools we used – Electric saw, drill and sander, nails, screws, brackets, hammer, paint, glue etc

Next fix the boards.

The top can be opened like a door. Ajay is fixing hinges behind.

Now that’s a Bench.

You people don’t know how to build

a bench!

Internal space testing!

Adding designs to the front of the bench

Those beadings in the front are placed according to Fibonacci series …just for a little engineering touch

Time to google fibonacci series?

Sanding the boards for a smooth finish

Paint and stain the bench

Aha! Final product

Backside with the hinges

We divided the top door into 2. One big door and one smaller door for easy access.

Check out the rounded edges. Ajay did that with the sander.
