Note that the back legs [a] and the side seat rails [d] all have one end cut 3° off squareA line across the face of a piece of wood (at right angles to the length) is a square line. A line deviating from the square line is off square. Off-square refers to how many degrees the off square line is in relation to the square line. For example, a line at a 5 degrees angle to the square line, is 5 degrees off square..
You can refer to the cutting list and plans if necessary.

First cut the two back legs [a] at 51 1/2″ (1308mm)long overall with one end (the bottom) of each leg 3° off square,
then cut the two front legs [b] at 29″ (737mm) long.
Next cut the front and back seat rails [c] both 22″ (559mm) long.

Cut the two side seat rails [d] 17″ (432mm) long with one end cut 3° inwards off square.
