is to space the slats evenly (1/a" apart). Insertingl/a" hardboard spacers berween the slats provides uniform spacing berr,veen them (Photo,page 52).It's a good idea to dryfit the slats and rails before you apply glue.Then center a dab ofglue on the top and bottom ofthe tenons, and fit the slats into place. Add the Supports - All that's left is to add the hardwood supports (G).As I mentioned, the supports help strengthen the seat and shelf, but they also serve another important purpose. Let me explain. Housed in both ends of each support is a threaded cross dowel. Each cross dowel accepts a connector bolt that passes through the pre-drilled holes in the frames (see Sidebar at right).Threading the connector bolts into the cross dowels "locks" the bench together. To make this work, you'll need to drill a hole in the face of each support to hold the cross dowel.That's easy enough to do. But drilling the hole for the connector bolt is a bit trickier.Thatt because it goes into the end grain of the support.This end grain has a tendency to make the drill bit veer offcourse.To prevent that, I use a shop-made guide block (see Sidebar at right). After drilling the holes, itt just a matter of gluing and clamping the supports to the rails.Then insert the cross dowels, fit the seat and shelf berween the end frames, and install the connector bolts. t[ Seot/Shelf Roil CONNECTOR BOLTS Cross dowels ond connecbr bolts produce the 90'connections lhol ioin fie end fromes io the seot ond shelf of the bench. Typicolly, this hqrdwore is used in the loinery of "knock-down" proiecrs lo moke them eosy to disqssemble ond move. In lhis cqse, though, I wos ofter q slrong, simple woy to ioin ports. This hodwore does fiot, plus it ollows me lo "snug up" lhe bench if the conneclions ever loosen uP.

A piece of hodboqrd qttqched to the block lets you clomp it to the workpiece.
