How to join timber for a bench seat?

[crisis]

I made this bench seat and am looking for advice on the best way to join the pieces of hardwood that make up the top. They are offcuts from the tabletops I cut down to make my bench tops and the cut out for the hotplate. There are two 1700mm x 275mm planks and then the back row are various lengths all 100mm wide. Would  pocket holes and glue work? Looking for a simple but effective solution.

Thanks

Thanks for your question @crisis.

Our resident Bunnings D.I.Y. experts will be back on the site on Boxing Day. Hopefully other community members will be able to assist in the meantime.

Hi @crisis,

One method is a Biscuit Joiner.

I have the one above which is good value for the $$$.

However, in your case for what is likely a one off job I suggest dowel pins.

  

Looks like this and I was making Greyhound drinking stands.

I was gifted the ALDI Workzone Dowelling kit which includes a drill jig for consistent edge holes.

I am pretty sure Bunnings have one but can't find will  have another look tomorrow.

Cheers
