We wanted our seating to be more level and more secure than it was before. So for each stump we dug at least an inch inset into the ground. Here you can see Timmy leveling the hole for the third stump.
We then set up our stumps and aligned the railroad ties on top. After tracing those, we cut out an inset for the ties to rest in.
We cleaned up the corners of the insets with a chisel.
We cut notches in our railroad ties so they would sit into the insets.
