Tommy had a really good day. Pray he has a really good night!
Tom - playing rough with his dad just before bed.
Dry fit. You can see the pocket screw holes in the rails to secure the bench top.
Glued up and clamped - what better place than in the middle of the kitchen? It was too cold to glue up in the garage, and I wanted it inside where it's warm. I've learned the hard way (at my mother-in-law's) that you shouldn't glue-up on a carpeted floor... I added two additional rails in the center for strength because these are such long benches - should be able to seat 3 adults.
Ta-da. With the top screwed on and the edges relieved with my new 1/2 inch, 2 horse router!
It fits under the table nicely, and sits just right for our table height. One down, one to go. Of course, there's a bit of sanding, staining, and finishing to be done...

Second cutest baby ever :) Love that boy.
Like the benches too, looking forward to using them A LOT when you have us over for dinner.
