Tools:

Step 1: Dismantle the Old Wooden Bench

Before throwing out that old bench, repurpose it for your new DIY project.

Disassemble the old bench carefully.
Use the sturdy legs as supports for your new bench.
Smooth the legs with a metallic brush and paint them black for a modern, durable finish.

Ensures your DIY bench fits perfectly in your garden or café space.

Step 3: Prepare and Smooth the Plywood

Cut four long and four small plywood boards according to your plan.

Arrange the black-painted supports and place the long plywood boards on top for the seating area.
Secure the plywood with screws for stability.
