Bench project question

I plan on doing this glue up in two stages. The sides first then assemble
the rest of the carcass.

I plan on raising the 'floor' from the bottom after the carcass glue up and
then screwing in ledgers underneath. Does any one see any potential
problems I may not have thought of with this plan??

bottom!



Thanks!

Thanks Barry. I just want to make sure I'm not over looking something.

Based on your drawings, I think that would work fine. With the bench
inverted, you could clamp or tape some braces in place to align the
floor, then attach the stringers. If the floor is plywood, I'd glue
the stringers to the frame and bottom of floor, as well as using
screws.
