Editor’s
Angle
Take a load off
L
ong before the world had luxurious decks, three-season
porches, and “outdoor rooms” hidden behind our
houses, we had the good old front porch. Out on the
farm, my grandpa and grandma had these old painted steel
chairs on the porch that were nice to look at, perfectly
functional, and about as comfortable as tight shoes.
When it comes to seating, “pretty” doesn’t cut it for long.
So, when designing the Garden Bench on page 50 , WOOD
design editor John Olson made sure it would appeal to both
your head and (ahem) tail. After you build it, tell me if it
isn’t one of the most comfortable benches you’ve ever
parked yourself on.
To achieve that sometimes-delicate balance between
beauty and bottom-friendliness, John prototyped the bench
and experimented with different back angles and back-rail
locations. Real-world testing like that should play a role in
your builds, too, whether you’re working with one of our
plans or one of your own. We’ll show you the benefits and
give you some tips starting on page 40 .
