The frame is 3\" × 3\" square steel tubing with angled 1\" × 3\" armrests and a reclined back. The seat and back boards are 2×6 lumber, attached with carriage bolts to ¼\" supports set flush with the top of the seat frame. Optional plasma-cut tube caps close every open tube end for a clean, finished look. It’s a great project for teaching metal and wood fabrication together, and the finished bench is popular at chapter sales, auctions, and fundraisers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 1em;\"\u003eStudents lay out and cut multiple angles (45°, 85°, 80°, 67°, and 56.5°), fit and MIG weld a matching pair of end frames, add seat gussets, rip and drill 2×6 boards, stain the wood, and bolt everything together into a sturdy, professional-looking bench.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"margin-bottom: 0.5em;\"\u003eWhat’s Included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"margin-bottom: 1em;\"\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e14-sheet dimensioned drawing set: isometric, front, side, and top views, plus a detail sheet for every part\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDXF file for the optional 2 11\/16\" tube caps\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStep-by-step Project Instructions (17 steps) with cut list, tools, safety reminders, and “Check Yourself” checkpoints\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTEKS-aligned Lesson Plan (§127.43, §127.41, and General Employability Skills, PEIMS N1270153) with a 5-day pacing breakdown\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e100-point Project Rubric with student self-reflection\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStudent Reflection Questions for exit tickets or a project summary\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"margin-bottom: 0.5em;\"\u003eProject Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"margin-bottom: 1em;\"\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinished size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6' long × 2'-9 ⅞\" tall × 1'-10\" deep\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFrame:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3\" × 3\" and 1\" × 3\" steel tubing, 14 ga or ⅛\" wall\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSupports and gussets:\u003c\/strong\u003e ¼\" × 2\" flat bar, ½\" or ¼\" plate\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBoards:\u003c\/strong\u003e (6) 2×6 boards, any species you choose, finished with stain\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHardware:\u003c\/strong\u003e (24) ¼\" × 2 ½\" carriage bolts with nuts\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSkill level:\u003c\/strong\u003e Intermediate\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEstimated time:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5 class periods\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTools:\u003c\/strong\u003e chop saw, MIG welder, angle grinder, drill press, table saw, miter saw, plasma cutter or band saw\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e instant digital download\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"margin-bottom: 0.5em;\"\u003eWhy Teachers Love This Project\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"margin-bottom: 1em;\"\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTeaches both metal fabrication and woodworking in one build\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eChoosing the lumber lets you match your budget or a customer’s request\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eA finished, sellable product for FFA and booster fundraisers\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDetail sheets for every part make layout and checking easy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"margin-bottom: 0.5em;\"\u003eDisclaimer\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 1em;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eThis resource is an independent classroom resource and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by the National FFA Organization. \"FFA\" is used only to describe the agricultural education programs this resource supports.
