Wooden Bench Making in 6 Easy Steps

Although you may think it is really more difficult than it really is, bench making can be done in 6 simple steps. After we have gathered the needed materials and tools we can do bench making in no time. We can make ourselves a nice, simple and safe wooden bench; one that will be both functional and beautiful and something you will be sure to get compliments on and a great conversation piece. After all, what's better than saying, Yeah, I made that!"

Bench making is easier with these six steps.

Kitchen Bar Stools

1. First, we start off by measuring the frame of the bench seat to our desired dimensions, cut them, and then tack-nail them together. Bench making includes drawing a curve line on the side pieces lengthways and cutting them using a jigsaw before attaching them together. This forms the seat shape. We may also form it as we see fit.

Then cut and sand the seat slats and mark their face boards. Screw the seat frame tightly together. Glue and nail the slats to the frame, beginning from the back. A ¾ inch vertical spacer will help. A good bench making design is providing a slight slat overhang on the front.

2. Second, we come to the screwing portion of bench making. Glue and screw front legs to our seat frame by first pre-drilling and applying countersink holes for screws to fit in. Do the same with the hind legs.

3. Third is sanding. Bench making is also about safety so we round sharp corners and sand the seat face and legs to smoothen all surfaces. This avoids board grains or fibers from sticking out and hurting the user. Sanding also creates better-looking seat surfaces.

4. Fourth, we deal with the back rest in bench making. Get the top rail measurement and add a space 5/8 inch from the rail top to the back part of the hind leg. This should give a 1/8 inch space at the bottom of the rail between the back part of the leg and the rail.

Then place the router tenons or tongues and vertical back slats on one end. There should be a fitting groove at the top rail. The tongues should easily fit into the groove. Glue the slats and nail them.

5. Fifth, bench making with armrests requires putting wood cleats 3 1/2 by 3/4 by 3'4 inches to support the front legs. Make a 3/16 inch hole with a drill at the midpoint of the cleat and have it attached through the bracing at the corner.

The armrest should measure from the back of the hind leg to some inches off the front leg. An armrest notch should receive the leg support of the back rest. Drill a hole and countersink atop the front cleat piercing the armrest then glue and screw.

6. Then, sixth is final sanding. Bench making should end with all surfaces, ends, and corners smoothen before painting. There we have our nice, simple, and sturdy bench.

Restaurant Start Up Costs - How Much Money Will You Need?

One of the biggest reasons restaurants fail is because there was never really enough capital to start the restaurant in the first place. If you are planning to open your restaurant, you will need enough capital to start up and then enough money to cover about two to three years of expenses because this is usually about how long it will take before you start making any real profits.

Kitchen Bar Stools

For now let's just focus on the restaurant start up costs - money you'll need to go from the idea stage to actually opening your restaurant. These costs can vary depending of the style of the restaurant, location you have chosen, and the type of cuisines offered. It can range between one hundred thousand dollars and three hundred thousand dollars depending on where you live, what type of restaurant you're opening, and a variety of other factors.

Kitchen Bar Stools

From the outset you're going to shell out money to get all the proper licenses and permits. Then you'll also have to either spend a good chunk of cash on slightly modifying a place, completely renovating a space, or absolutely starting from scratch. Obviously, the more you want to do to the space then the more money you'll have to spend.

Then you're going to have to look at the restaurant start up costs to purchase the equipment you need for the restaurant. This includes things like the ovens, stoves, freezers, refrigerators, stations for cutting, heating, and cooling, ventilation equipment, tables, chairs, and possibly bar stools. Of course you may be able to find a place where many of these things are already present. However, even though you'll be saving money at the outset, you may actually lose money in the long run because places that are fully equipped usually are much more expensive than places that aren't furnished or equipped at all.

In addition to the items listed above, you'll also need to buy an outdoor sign, menus, glasses, china, silverware, and many other smaller items. You need to make sure you plan out every little thing you need to get started including things like napkins, light bulbs, and toiler tissue.

Part of your start up costs will also include money for buying point of sale equipment such as cash registers, credit card machines, etc. You will need a way for people to quickly and easily pay for their food (this is how you'll make money).

You will also need to plan for buying food and drinks, as well any other thing that will be an ongoing expense. Don't forget to include anything and everything. Any unexpected expense that crops up later will hurt your bottom line and threaten to blow apart your budget. So be very careful.

Restaurant start up costs can be very pricey, The average cost to start up a restaurant is often right around a quarter of a million dollars. In addition, a very common reason why people fail with their restaurants is because they don't have enough money to shell out for the initial cost of opening the restaurant and then to continue to spend the money to keep the restaurant operating. So just to be sure, always make sure you have the capital to start up the restaurant and then to keep it going for a couple years.
