Print out that free cut list and using a miter saw, cut each piece to length, paying attention to angles. Now, sand each piece.
Build the leg sets by marking correct location and using a small board to inset the center support correctly. Assemble legs. It is most helpful to pre-drill the holes here to avoid wood splits. Glue and attach with screws
Then, mark locations and attach legs to bench top, pre-drilling holes, gluing and then adding screws. Add center supports using the same method.
