What did you make?

My sofa is based on the Jasper and Francisco sofas. I have a dining table bench of 280.0 cm long, as Francisco and Jasper made, but without a drawer. Material is MDF Lakdrager, finished with satin white lacquer.

How did you make the bench?

After the necessary calculations, drawing and figure work, I had all the wood for the bench (MDF lacquer support and pine beams) cut to size. saw and a few days later my 'construction kit' inside. Kudos to the driver, who carefully loosened everything and counted everything before we brought it in.

I took the time to assemble everything properly (see steps in the photos) . Then a lot of sanding, countersinking of screws, filling, sanding and first layers of varnishing (and first priming the sawn and end edges with MDF primer).

TIPS:

use wood glue (in my enthusiasm I forgot to use wood glue between the parts, but they are still stuck well enough)
an extra length of beam for the backrest (so that it is even becomes more secure)
if possible, screw the backrest to the wall or mitered slats/planks (1 to the wall and 1 to the bench)
blindly screw all plates and planks so that you don't have to fill in (much)
have a 2.80 meter cushion made to measure with standing seams (we will have the back cushion done)
