Step 12. Prepare the armrests

The ends of the armrests (f) need to be cut to fit around the back-rest support (d).
This can be done with a handsaw. Cut out the rebate using the drawing below as a guide. Then coat the cut-out area with preservative (if applicable).

Step 13. Fit the armrests

Fix the two armrests (f) in place.

Glue and screw them to the top of the back and front legs and also into the side of the vertical backrest support (d).

Almost finished. Just a bit of strengthening and bolting to go.
