Can you give me the measurements for this project, the bench? I can't seem to find them. I'm looking forward to trying this project. How much weight do you think it will hold? I was going to top it with a solid piece of walnut about 3 inches thick.

how is the top attached to copper pipes?

We marked the corners of the bench top where they met the copper frame. Then used a drill with a boring bit to make holes in the bottom of the bench top so that the copper tees at the top of the frame rest inside. The weight of the top is enough to keep it in place.
