pose of this is because the notches in the interlocking parts help to index these parts perfectly at assembly. You could also just notch out the posts to the full 1 in. notch depth, which will cut down on some of the work required.

Once your notches are cut, lay out and cut the profile on the stretchers and ends. Using the grid pattern, make a template out of hardboard or plywood, then use the template to trace the profile on the

stretchers and ends. Cut out with a band saw and sand smooth. To lay out the broad curve in the bottom edge of the stretchers, first scribe a centerline bisecting the stretcher. Tack a nail on the centerline. 5V« in. down from the top edge, then tick off two marks along the bottom edge of the stretcher, each mark 20 in. from the centerline. Now. bend a thin strip of wood around the nail so that it touches your two scribed marks, and use a pencil to mark the curve. Once you've cut and sanded the curve in one stretcher, use it as a template to mark the curve in the remaining stretcher.

With the frame parts all cut, now assemble the frame. We used 3'/2 in. long carriage bolts to mount the seat supports and stretchers to the posts, countersinking for the washers and nuts. The ends arc screwed in place w ith no. 8 by 2'/: in. long stainless steel screws, which are also countersunk. Predrill for all assembly bolts and screws, lest you split the wood.
