  1. Small Picnic Table

    My mother-in-law wanted a picnic table for her backyard, the only spec. she gave me was that she wanted it to be smaller (not as long) as a standard picnic table. This is about 5 feet long. Like most things I build, I didn't make a pattern or have any demensions, I just played in the shop until...
  2. Trestle Picnic Table and Benches

    Built from rough sawn 8/4 cedar. This was my first time milling all the wood for a large project. My shop, my house, and my deck all smell absolutely wonderful! Every piece went through the jointer, planer, and drum sander before cutting. All edges were routed with a 1/8" round over bit. The...
  3. Outdoor Harvest Table

    I find a traditional picnic table can be difficult at times to get in and out of, as well as the general design lends itself to a park type setting, rather than the upscale look I wanted on the new deck I built at the cottage. This Harvest Table design combines the classic, clean lines of Shaker...
  4. business card table

    I made my Sister in law a business card holder out of the classic picnic table a while back http://lumberjocks.com/projects/92556 and a friend of hers was really impressed with it. Her friends birthday came up and my SIL wanted one made for her. The only thing was she said she needed it tomorrow...
  5. Reclaimed Cypress Patio Table

    I built this table with zero plans. It turned out pretty well but I need to make some changes since it's too high right now for the chairs I have. It's made from reclaimed cypress taken off my neighbors house before he remodeled.
  6. Fold down Patio Table

    Not really sure where I got these plans but I know they were on freewoodworkingplan.com. It was a difficult build but turned out nice. Breaks down so you can store it for winter or in our case, hurricanes!

    I was not sure where to put this so I stuck it in here. Long story short I was looking for a place here locally to get my table saw blades sharpened. To my surprise there is "No One" in my area that sharpens anymore. I broke down and started calling cabinet shops and found the closest place to...

I am going to use 2 60D nails as the axle for my wheels and was wondering if anyone has done this before. I was going to simply drill the holes...

    I have been offered a 4' x 4' x 1 1/4" thick piece of plexiglass. What do you guys and gals think of using this for a routing table? Has anyone tried this? If so, what kind of results did you have with it?

    Shaped and sanded My mom bought a simple 2×4 picnic table a few years ago and the top has not held up well. The boards are twisted and warped, and I thought it would be a good "test" subject for a new top using an idea that I have had for a while. Juniper grows with a very rapid taper, and...
