      Stand the board where it's due to go, place a ruler horizontally up against the board, with the ruler's lower edge following the floor angle. Scribe a line on the board, following along the top of the ruler. That should reflect the angle you need to cut the lower board to.

      Tommy said he originally wanted sharp lines on those legs, then after seeing it put together he decided on the rounded edges. Yes, if you want round edges, you would do those before adding the rest of the support structure. You would also want to sand to your final grit before adding those structural pieces. It would be more difficult if you didn’t, with lesser chance to ding the project.

      Well, you can kind of see those back corners when you look at the flooring. The legs have nothing else around them, so you can see a little bit of those back corners. I would have rounded the corners before attaching the structural pieces, but Tommy explained why he didn’t do it beforehand.

    • @MixingGBP
      @MixingGBP 2 года назад

      I am for my mudroom bench build. For stability mainly. I used solid red oak lumber on a previous mudroom bench. Looked awesome…until winter hit. The red oak ended up splitting along the grain right down the middle because I over constrained it with too much glue. My first build and my fault. Plywood is more forgiving for new builders and can look just as good as solid lumber. There is no growth and shrinkage to worry about.
