When we first visited this site to make our pattern, it was nearly dark. Morning of the install, we discovered how irregular the concrete was.
Carl had made plywood templates in the shop, based on our paper pattern.
The bench is 15 1/2" deep. We got 5/4 x 8 ipe from Golden State Lumber, were able to get about 4 7/8" wide curves in about a 4 foot run.
Here's the attachment... two pieces of nesting aluminum channel, linked with sex bolts, which also secure the end plugs. The smaller channel is screwed to the ipe. No visible fasteners on top.
Carl grinds concrete to level out our bearing surfaces.
We marked the anchor holes by putting the bench in place and depositing some black chalkline chalk with a little spatula.
Jeff drills for the anchor bolts.
Lower channels in place on the left side.

Final product...
