HOW TO MAKE A PIANO BENCH
Piano Bench
All the material used in the making of this piano bench is 1 in. thick, excepting the two rails, which are 7/8 in. thick. The bench can be made from any of the furniture woods, but the case may demand one made from mahogany. If so, this wood can be purchased from a piano factory. The following stock list of materials may be ordered from a mill, planed and sandpapered:
- 1 top, 1 by 16 by 36-1/2 in.
- 2 ends, 1 by 14 by 18 in.
- 1 stretcher, 1 by 4 by 31-1/2 in.
- 2 side rails, 7/8 by 4 by 29-1/2 in.
- 2 keys, 1 by 1 by 3-1/2 in.
- 6 cleats, 1 by 1 by 4 in.
The dimensions given, with the exception of the keys and cleats, are 1/2 in. longer than necessary for squaring up the ends.
