

 Plank or sheet material: 860mm long x 144m wide x 18mm thick [34"
long x 6" wide X ¾" thick, planed]. This is a standard thickness and width
available from most DIY stores. Alternatively, off-cuts of sheet materials
such as blockboard or plywood can be used, but not chipboard or MDF.
 Hinges: 2 off 100mm or 75mm [4" or 3"] butt hinges, preferably brass or
zinc plated if the bench is not going to be varnished or painted.
 Screws: 12 or 16 off [to suit hinges] ¾" x 8's [20mm long x 4mm dia]

 Making the Bench

 Measure 500mm [20"] and cut off the bench top. A smaller top can be
used, but a minimum of 400mm [16"] should be maintained between the
legs of the stool when in the raised position.
 On the front edge of the remaining 360mm [14"] piece of wood, measure
195mm [7.7"] from the left hand side. On the far edge, measure 195mm
[7.7"] from the right hand side. Draw a line between these 2 points and
cut the angled foot of the stool as shown. N.B. These measurements
only work for 144mm [6"] wide wood. If the wood is bigger or smaller than
this by more than 25mm [1"], then draw a line that passes through the
centre point of the wood at 78º.
 Remove any splinters from the cut edges and round all the sharp edges
and any other roughness by sanding.
