I've rescued these plans from https://www.buildsomething.com/plans/PA65C866DE5D2D38A/BaseballSoftball-Dugout-Benches They are no longer posted there. (Looks like Kregtools changed hosting setup).  I scraped this mostly from the wayback machine

Steps

  1. Cut Out Frame Pieces
    There are 7 parts to a frame. 
    1. Part 1 is 11.5" long with a 36 degree cut on the left and a 45 degree cut on the right. 
    2. Part 2 is 17" long with a 15 degree cut at the bottom and a 39 degree cut at the top. 
    3. Part 3 is 32.5" long with just a 45 degree cut at the top. 
    4. Part 4 is 16" long with a 45 degree cut at the top. 
    5. Part 5 is 18.75" long with a 45 degree cut at both ends. 
    6. Part 6 is 16" long with a 45 degree cut at the top. 
    7. Part 7 is 31.5" long. You need to make each piece 8 times. (8 frames per bench)
  2. Build Frames
    I found it easy to build the frames in a particular order. I connected pieces 2 and 5 first, then 1 to 2, then 3 to 1, then 4 to 5, then 6 to 5, and put 7 on last. You need 8 frames per bench. Frames will be spaced out 4 feet from each other, with 2 of the frames connected in the middle.
  3. Lay Top Boards Down
    All top boards are 2"x4"x12'. There are 24 top boards per bench. 8 boards for the seat, 8 boards for the back, and 8 boards for the shelf. Lay them down with the frames 4 feet apart with 2 of the frames connected in the middle.

Yea, it's really hard to see, because it's White text.  My first website, like most all bad websites of the early 2000, was black theme.  I ran the website off my computer in my room. I quickly tired of this, and moved onto a Blog software platform.  You used an actual program program, (I don't remember it's name) and you would type up your entry, then upload it to the website.  That tired quickly, as the software was at home, and most entries, then as now, revolved around work. Then I discovered FreeGuppy .  It was online CMS platform, and it was nearly perfect, for almost five years.I even developed some pl...
