I had just completed building my "Paul Sellers Design" workbench when my Mom said she wanted a porch swing where her koi pond used to be.  I realized that the workbench was, in a way, a crude piece of furniture, and maybe I had the skill to make the porch swing.  So I volunteered.

I designed it to fit around a crib mattress and just like the workbench, I went for the through-tenon joinery, except I added draw bores.

I made all the pieces and did a dry fit in my garage workshop.  The final assembly would have to be done onsite.

Of course I was inclined to use hand tools only...

Assembly onsite consisted of:

• Gluing up rails to the leg frames
• Installing and flush cutting draw bore dowels
• Being really stressed as time was of the essence with the glue

My Mom was pretty happy with it.

Let me know if you want the drawings or Fusion360 file.
