How to assemble the Squirrel Picnic Bench:

Step 1: Take your four 5″ legs and place them with ends facing the bottom side of one of your 1″ x 6″ boards with angles facing each other (see pic above)

Diva Tip: When I’m doing a project by myself that requires and extra set of hands, I often times reach for my glue gun. I actually hot-glued these four angled pieces to the board then flipped the board over and nailed it from the top.

Congratulations…you have built the table portion of your squirrel picnic bench.

Step 2: Using your brad nailer, attach your 8.5″ board to the center of your two 7″ boards.

Step 3: Using your nail gun, attach the seat to the table portion of your squirrel feeder.

This step is another good place to use your glue gun for stability.

Step 4: Using your drill, insert a screw up through the bottom so that it is sticking completely out of the top of your table.
