Mark the centers of six holes for screws on the outside of each side of each side. Fast advice! Do not get the wood. Stick the masking tape to the desired places and mark the centers of the holes on it. Then you do not have to remove the lines with an eraser or sandpaper.
Using the stands, attach the lower shelf to the sidewalls, leaving the indentes along the edges. Sprinkle the marking of the tsection with a depth of 6 mm. Then, in the center of each recess, drill the guide holes. After drilling all the holes, glue the shelf to the sidewalls and additionally fix it with screws.
Using spacers, set the upper shelf with the right position with. Make the tsection with guide holes, and attach the upper shelf to the sidewalls.
From a board with a thickness of 19 mm, cut two blanks with dimensions of 152 × 864 mm for the front and rear tsar. Mark the rounded cutouts at their ends. To mark the long arc at the lower edge, put the tags at a distance of 95 mm from both ends and one in the middle with an indent of 51 mm from below. Then, with the help of a flexible pattern, draw contour lines. Drink and polish the decorative elements on the front prince to the lines of markings and use it as a template for the back of the king.
Apply a strip of glue along the edge of the upper shelf and with the help of a clamp, fix the front tsar in the sides of the side. Drill holes and plunge the screws, as before. Then, in the same way, set the back of the tsar in place. Finally, close all the screws of the screws with traffic jams, gluing them into the d more, as described in the “Council of the Master” below.
4 ways to decorate holes for screws
Wooden traffic jams – plugs can not only hide screws, but also give the products decorativeness. Select one of the options.
Buttons. Such fungus stubs with a semicircular hat protrude above the surface.
Traffic jams with end fibers. They are more noticeable, since the directions of the fibers of the plug and surface do not match. They can be made from ordinary doughs, which does not require special tools.
Traffic jams with longitudinal fibers. With a thorough selection of textures, they are almost invisible. You can purchase ready -made ones or make them with a checkpoint from scraps, which definitely coincide in color.
Contrasting traffic jams. To make the plugs decorate the product, try to use wood of a different color.

To give a bench an aged look, paint it with casein paint. With the help of sandpaper, soften the corners and upper ribs of the lid, which wear out primarily, then the upper edges of the tsaroga of the upper ribs of the lower shelf, as well as the internal and external ribs of the sidewalls. Do not grind too much, but only slightly expose the wood under the paint. Then apply a dark walnut stain to the polished areas, which will give the wood an aged species. Try not to get on the paint. When the stain dries, cover the entire bench for additional protection with two layers of water -based polyurethane varnish.
Add the lid and apply the finish
Glue the shield from the boards and cut the lid out of it on the specified sizes – the seat.
Place three overhead loops on the upper edge of the back of the back. Drill guide holes for screws. Then install the loops. Fast advice! In order not to spoil the screws, make sure that the diameter of the guide hole drilled in the trim is sufficient to screw them.
To find the position of the cover relative to the loops, insert 2.5 × 6 mm into the holes of the screw loops. Carefully put the lid on the bench, leaving the indentation from four sides, and mark the centers of holes for screws. Remove the lid, remove the small screws and connect the lid with the hinges using screws included in the set of the loops.
Remove the lid and loops, then polish all parts of the bench with sandpaper No. 220. Tint the wood, if necessary, and apply a transparent finish.
Set the loops and a short chain again so that the lid does not rest when opened in the back tsar.
