There's no shortage of porch swings available for purchase, but you can have the satisfaction of a job well done if you decide to DIY it instead. We've designed a classic two-seater made of poplar to be simple enough for a first-time woodworking project. The swing is made up of simple cuts and easy glue-and-screw assembly techniques. You'll need a table saw, circular saw, drill/driver with bits, jigsaw, tape measure, square, power sander, hacksaw and an adjustable wrench.
