Construct Backrest Frame and Slats

Boom. We got ourselves a butt cushion. Let's start working on the sides. The back rest. So, the back rest is I wouldn't say it's tricky, but there is, let's just put it this way. It's unique. The reason it's unique is because the one piece that you're going to cut if you follow the plans. It's going to be 24 in long. That's your 2x6. What I like to do is do an inch and 3/4 spacing on the front and the back. And the reason I'm doing front and back is because it makes it simple math. Put a little straight edge there. Connect line to line. And that is going to be the frame of our back rest. So, we're going to use our cirl that sucker in half. Told you this is easy. Anybody can do it. Any skill level. Whether you're advanced or you're brand new, nothing is too intimidating on this build. [Music] [Applause] I was almost sure we didn't cut into my table, but we did. It's all right. It's a workbench. That's what it's meant for. Take abuse. What was once a 2x6 is now a perfectly mirror image of our side frame. Now, as you can see, there's a a more of an angle on one side than the other, right? So, this is the 90 and this is whatever angle that is. So, what we're going to use is this part that we cut where the blade went. And that's going to be the front facing part of our back rest. And the reason I went with this style is because you have a little bit more lean to it. Everybody needs a little more lean in their life. Isn't there like a a drug like a drink with like cough syrup called lean? Okay. You you can use a little bit less of that kind of lean, but more of relaxation. Threw some pocket holes in the back on these ones. I guess I forgot one piece. And uh because they're facing the back, all the holes are going to be in the back. And I'll show you how we're going to fill those holes so they're not going to be an eyesore. Space them out the same 3/8 with a little piece of metal. And we're only going to need three here. And this little gap, that's intentional. [Applause] [Music] I almost forgot. Very important part just because it's easier to do right now than later. throw a pocket hole on the inside parts of this. We only need one. If you can squeeze two, awesome. But that's going to be the part that actually I wouldn't say holds it in place, but keeps it anchored to the bottom. It's not going to be crazy loadbearing, just enough to keep it from shifting. [Music] And just like that, we have a what I think is a very beautiful back rest. And all we're going to do…
