Long beveled floating bench

5 years ago

Hi all,

Quick question- I am assembling a floating bench out of plywood and biscuits for the beveled edge. I am building it in four 70” sections which spans 24 ft. What do you think is the best way to do the final assembly so all the edges line up perfectly?

Are you just butting them together and hoping for tightest joint? I would biscuit the ends, glue and clamp (you may have to screw on some temporary blocks on the back to clamp to), install and sand. Is there somewhere the length of the bench you can do that in?

Thanks Seaborn. Yes I am butting the sections together with pocket holes and glue. I figured I’d get the nosing on first and then dry fit. Then fasten them with the pocket holes and glue
