I finished my daughter's bench. It's a good thing that I don't do this
stuff for a living. My hourly rate would be in the negative numbers.

It's ready for delivery and ultimately to be painted. Painting it is her
choice. She's going to match her already painted dining room table and
chairs. Although painting it would not be my first choice, it's her bench
so I didn't say a word.

This was my first project made from over-sized S2S wood. First use of my
planer. A jointer would have helped. Instead, I made a edge jointer jig for
my table saw fence. It works fine for short boards, but it's tough to joint
a 8/4 x 10 x 6' board, especially in my small shop.

I used three 8/4 x 8' poplar boards, one of which was twisted as some of
you may recall from my "Is My Planer Set Up Correctly" thread. Probably not
the best choice for first-time planer use but I managed.

The design is essentially 100% my daughter's. I offered her options
(straight legs or angled, flat seat or grooved, location of stretcher,
etc.) The result was based on her choices.

I suppose you sanded the bottom of the feet (end grain) nice and smooth AND that she will prime it before painting.

Might recommend to her to thin a bit of primer for the feet bottoms. Thinned primer will adhere (soak in a bit) better on that end grain, helping counter any unseen saw dust and/or dirt/dust that might interfere with primer adhesion.

With best adhered primer/paint, if she applies felt or vinyl casters to the feet, the caster's adhesive will less likely loosen/peel off the primer-paint.

I'm not quite sure which leg connection you are referring to, so I'll
explain both.

This is what I refer to as a "leg assembly". The legs are 2-1/2" x 2-1/2".
They are attached to the top of the leg assembly with glue and four 2-1/2"
pocket screws. 2 on the inside (shown) and 2 on the outside.

https://i.imgur.com/SBLp0Rr.jpg

The leg assembly is then attached to the seat with glue and four 2-1/2" HD
Kreg screws, although they are not in pockets. They are screwed in at
roughly the same angle as the legs, 12.5°. A Kreg HD screw is basically a
1/4" lag screw with a square drive head. (image later)

Here you can see the filled pocket holes at the top of the outside of the
leg and the not-yet-filled counter sunk holes for the HD screws.

https://i.imgur.com/KHws2hD.jpg

A Kreg HD screw, just in case you are not familiar.

https://i.imgur.com/Y6tm2sd.jpg?1

Every connection is glued and pocket screwed. The glue may be over-kill
but I figured if it provided even the tiniest bit of wiggle-prevention,
the screws would experience that much less side-to-side stress. Cheap and
easy, so why not?

I asked my daughter numerous times if she stilled planned on painting it,
even after she had seen the completed seat, which was the first part that
was built. Without hesitation she said "Yes" so I knew that pocket screws
with filled holes would be OK.

I did sand the bottom of the feet. I was considering adhering those plastic
sliders before I deliver it. She has an area rug in the dining room. Maybe
I should apply a few coats of wipe-on poly to seal the end grain before
attaching the sliders. Thoughts?

The purpose of the sealer would be to help the adhesive glides adhese
better on the end grain, assuming enough buildup. Nothing to do with
inside vs. out.

Be careful what you buy, sliders or the stickum casters!! The sliders don't have the adhesive stickum. Sliders are used just for sliding/moving furniture. You don't want the sliders. I've mistakenly bought the sliders, when I wanted the felt or vinyl stickum casters. The packaging for each look very much alike, so it's easy to mistakenly pick up the wrong item.

On almost all the furniture I upholstery, I replace these stickum casters, because of adhesion issues. Sand the old surface and apply a reasonable sealer, for better/best caster adhesion. The customers appreciate the extra little effort.

Maybe

It's preventative maintenance, of sorts, and easy to do, especially if you have some quick-dry poly handy.

Looks great. The paint will help to stabilize movement of the seat if
it were to expand or contract with seasonal changes, unless you
improvised for that movement.

Paint? NO!!!!!!!!!!!!

Concerning the design. How far are the legs inset under the seat? It looks to me like they are in a fair amount. One foot. So a person, child, sitting on the end of the bench could tip the whole thing up like a teeter totter. I realize its too late to move the legs outward more. But maybe its not too late to trim the ends of the bench off a few inches so there is less overhang.

No, 8". That's not so far that someone tilts the bench, besides, her friends butts are, most likely, nicely sized (hubba hubba), not to be a problem.

Now, this bench's legs are a bit too far from the ends - https://www.flickr.com/photos/438361...posted-public/

When I, 220 lbs, sit on the end, the other end rises. The seat is 8' long, the legs are 5' apart. I made the legs to fit inside the table's legs. Sometimes you learn from mistakes, as this.

Bought, installed and briefly tested. So far, so good.

Yes, they also sell non-adhesive styles, typically with a foam pad on the
"top" so that the piece of furniture doesn't slide around on the slider
itself.

Aren't casters "wheels"?

caster
noun [ C ] US €‹ /ˈkæs·tÉ™r/

a small wheel, usually one of a set, that is fixed to the bottom, usually
of the leg, of a piece of furniture so that it can be moved easily

Felt sliders are typically labeled for use on hard floors:

The hard plastic style are for use on almost all surfaces, especially
carpet, where felt won't work very well. They also work on floors.

My daughter lives 2.5 hours from me. Based on our schedules, today was the
only day for a few weeks that we could meet up. We adhesed the sliders to the
raw wood after having the discussion stick-to-it-iveness. If they don't
stay on, we'll discuss other options, including screw on sliders.

She took me out for a nice lunch before I drove back home. :-)

The leg assemblies are centered at 9" in from the ends of the bench.

My extensive testing, based on the location of my ass relative to the
floor, (which is fairly close) has shown that very, very few individuals
would find it comfortable to sit so close to the end to cause it to tip.

Even with my short legs, my weight ends up squarely over the leg assembly.

Could a child cause it to tip? Possibly, but probably only once. ;-)

I agree it's nice work.

I've noted several people expressing concern over attachment of the
legs. If you look closely you'll see that there are plugs consistent
with pocket-hole screws. Looks like 4 per leg. Can't tell if there
is also dowelling or tenons, or, for that matter, if what look like
plugs are in fact dowel-ends.

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 angle
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.

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.

I did some searching and the only times I can find where "casters" and "pads"

release caster pads that make swapping out caster (wheel) assemblies easier..
