2. The pallet possessing a hacksaw in two parts.

Note: The part of the pallet on which we will gray should be slightly wider than the backrest. Therefore for seat choose a part of a pallet with four beams, and for a back-three.

3. Now it is necessary at right angle to knock down two parts of a bench that the fourth crossbar of a seat are with the third crossbar of a back. With the help of additional boards available in an economy and nails connect a back of a bench with a seat (it is possible and screws, but then it is necessary to drill preliminary apertures, otherwise wood can be covered by cracks in the process of screw fasteners).
