Using the field assembled Bucksaw basic design (doubled), you should be able to create a movable bench, maybe with space for fingers to grab in the center...

Just an idea.... but while explaining the legs with the double reverse 7 notches, call it a Z notch. Everyone will understand it easier. Just a suggestion. When ya look at each leg (from a side view) u should see the letter Z. Boom!! easily explainable design.

i haven't tried it so i don't know if could work or make it worse or harder to do, but instead of using 4 legs could you instead have cut a square notch in the middle of the board with the saw and put one leg in there, so you only have to make 3 legs and have a more stable bench (4 legs is usually less stable as it tends to rock between two of the legs if it isn't in the exact perfect conditions on the ground)

Wow. A really nice bench. Friction fitting is always interesting. With all the bamboo in my backyard it would be easy to throw some shapes together. The simplest one is three lengths spaced parallel. Just get a few shorter pieces and alternate an over-and-under like a weave. Don't try to use it as a bench, though. Probably better suited as a simple framing for a lean-to.

Interesting project, and well executed, but I don't think I'd say it's held together by friction; it's due to the fact that two solid bodies can't occupy the same space. If you drop a block on the floor it's not friction that keeps it from sinking in. Of course, there is some friction involved (as there is in most mechanical systems). For instance if the wooden parts of your bench were as slippery as watermelon seeds it would be a lot harder to get it to stay together.
