- Page 6 Attach the Top Rails Glue and clamp the Top Rail to the leg assemblies as shown. Make sure that the bench legs are parallel and that the distance between them is correct, and then secure each Top Rail to the Legs with four 2 1/2" HD Screws. Make the Side Rails Cut four Side Rails to length, as shown in the cutting diagram.

- Page 9 Install the bench top assembly by first positioning it, and then checking for equal overhangs at the front and back, and on each end, as shown. Then attach the top assembly using 1 1/4" coarse-thread Kreg Pocket-Hole Screws. Install the Bottom Shelf so it fits flush with the outer edges of the Bottom Rails and the Side Rails.
