The front and back stretchers (pieces 3 and 5) are key elements to the settee conversion.

This is truly a project for all skill levels. Choose a weather-resistant species such as redwood, western red cedar, Honduras mahogany, or try out Spanish cedar. It's a pleasure to machine and finish, and will hold up very well to the elements.

Check the Material List (on the facing page) for these dimensions. Note that the list includes enough material to build two chairs, plus the extra parts needed to convert them into the settee, complete with table.

Next, cross cut all the parts to the lengths listed. Since there are no angle cuts required, this is simply a matter of using the miter gauge on your table saw to make a series of 90° cuts. Mark each part according to the Material List.

Cutting the Parts to Size

All the parts in this project are 3/4" thick, so there's no need for a planer. You can quickly rip the parts (pieces 1 through 13) to-width.

Here's a trick to hold the legs properly during assembly: clamp all four to a piece of plywood while you screw them to the seat subassembly.
