The Bench - Finally Done

Feb 17, 2019 25 Replies

Good eye.

Four 2-1/2" pocket screws per leg into the horizontal brace.

Four 2-1/2" HD counter sunk pocket screws (not pocketed) attach the brace to the bench. The screws were driven at a 12.5° angle. Same angl e as the legs 'cuz that's how the drill had to be held. ;-)

I threw some glue at all connection points just for good measure.

Pocket holes are filled here, counter sunk holes were filled later:

Thanks!

I did not improvise for movement, but I did tell my daughter that she should at least get primer on it as soon as possible for the very reason you mentioned - seasonal changes.

Well, I'll concur. As I typed, I used the wrong term.

Seems the stores have sliders and gliders, the gliders being the adhesive pads. I knew there was two similar items and I've made the mistake (when in a rush) of buying sliders, when I wanted adhesive gliders. It was this mistake I was conveying to you.

I've used the term casters before, though, when informing customers of the replacing of their furniture's pads.

For future situations, you can make the pilot hole a little larger in diameter to compensate for movement.

ers don't have the adhesive stickum.

e replacing of their furniture's pads.

Did they get a confused look on their face? ;-)

I did some searching and the only times I can find where "casters" and "pad s" are used in conjunction with each other is when they talk about those quick release caster pads that make swapping out caster (wheel) assemblies easier .
