This was perfect as a vanity desk for me. ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxMAlHv7-BBWMrPRm5-uEoD6rtdT7SG2Qr Especially the glossy finish. Easy to cleanI was looking for something that wasn't the traditional white and with more of a modern feel. This fit the bill beautifully. I put it together with no problems, by myself in under an hour.Make sure you double check where you place the drawer tracks before screwing down. I had one track that needed to be aligned with different holes than the rest.
I too appreciate the simple, functional ease of this concept of an outdoor table...I have not yet worked with the Kreg system...Sure makes many things easier...Do you anticipate any issues of wood movement with this kind of joinery as used here?
His only saving grace is he used cedar for the table , so the natural oils in the cedar will help with the temperature changes . But the bread board on the end grain parts of the table should not be screwed in , no movement at all . If your going to waste the money on a Kreeg drill set I suggest buying a good dovetail bit for your router instead then dovetail the bread board on with no glue . Lots of good videos on here using that design
Great build! How did you get the dado at the bottom of your two sets of legs. There's a gap at the floor. More cutting and hammering out the leftovers?
This looks great mate, I've already printed out the plans to build this over Christmas but have to convert sizes to metric being an Australian lol, good work & seasons greetings to you and your family 👍👍👍
Dude, this is AWESOME! I love it. Just subscribed. I think I just found the design for my dining room table. I'm pretty limited in my tools, but the way you put this thing together, I'm confident I can do it. Question, since I'm gonna' build this for inside, could you recommend some wood types to use? Would like to keep it budget friendly.
Just purchased materials in March 2020. Going to paint the table, so used untreated Fir lumber, not cedar. I’m at ~$ 130 for lumber, plus ~$40 for fasteners. Cedar will at least triple your costs, if not more.
Aww using screws. With that sweet cedar you should have mortise and tenon the legs and used a split wedge . And dovetailed or mortise and tenon the bread board , but all in all it’s a sweet table! I work a lot with cedar and I love it even though it’s a bit finicky and likes to chip and tear out lol and dents so easy makes sanding it flat a pain
Very solid and quality looking table. Thank you. One question though. Are the dual 2 x 4 stringers necessary? wouldn't the top alone provide sufficient rigidity? Anyway. Great video and thank you for sharing it.
Thanks! Normally I would agree with you (God knows I've overlooked that step many times) however, that split was actually just from the wood drying naturally and was already there.
Nice base. But the table top itself leaves no room for wood movement. While it's easy to show people how convenient the Kreg system can be, it's also bad not to go into the pros and cons, and here the cons are wood movement. The table top was not designed with that in mind. And how many DIY projects have I seen online where people followed the steps of others, only to fail and see their hard work fail. You really should not bind your wood using the Kreg system as you have. Granted, a 5 1/2 board should only have a max movement of 1/16 of an inch, but times that by the number of boards used to make the top. So using the Kreg to make a pseudo breadboard end means a lot of stress and pressure. And a point of failure. Granted, sometimes this may not happen, or happen only after moving to another state or cross country, but it's a bad design to teach others to follow. Just my two cents. The base is nice :)
It's a picnic table. It's made of Cedar, he left a 1/4 gap between the boards to allow for water run off and movement. Where are your woodworking videos?
My husband is going to build this for me this weekend as an anniversary gift (23years). I can’t wait!
Looking good, brother! I like that leg design.
Fix This Build That thanks man!

This table came up in a search and helped me discover your website. Your plans are fantastic and perfect. I am a huge fan!
Thanks!
Awesome table and cute little helper. Can you please explain how you attached the table top to the stringers. Thank you
How much weight will these legs hold. I have a 400 lb granite top I want to use.
Nice job. Looks like a strong, heavy table.
good stuff!
Thanks Ben
Hi...how do I get directions to build this beautiful table?
I too appreciate the simple, functional ease of this concept of an outdoor table...I have not yet worked with the Kreg system...Sure makes many things easier...Do you anticipate any issues of wood movement with this kind of joinery as used here?
Thanks. It's been through a winter and start of a summer so far with no problems.

Very helpful way of presenting materials and cut list...
great work man!
Well Done Jamison, a Great Build.

Thanks Barry!
Did yo have to plane all of the cedar?
Great build! How did you get the dado at the bottom of your two sets of legs. There's a gap at the floor. More cutting and hammering out the leftovers?
Awesome table!!!..plan on building this one soon
This looks great mate, I've already printed out the plans to build this over Christmas but have to convert sizes to metric being an Australian lol, good work & seasons greetings to you and your family 👍👍👍
Thanks! Yea, I wish there was an easier way to convert the plans. Cheers!

Do you live in the Rouge river area, I’m in Eagle Point
Love the look of this - wondering what the cost of materials is?

Nice work! The table legs look very sturdy / beefy... I like it!
Thanks Greg!

Very nice build...just curious, have you had any issues with splitting / expansion or contraction?
Thanks JC, and no I haven't had any issues. This table has been sitting outside too.
Very solid and quality looking table. Thank you.
One question though.

Anyway. Great video and thank you for sharing it.
Looks great!!!
New Subscriber, thanks Izzy swan for sharing.....
Awesome
Thanks!
That a nice table, I'll buy it for you right now lol....nah just kidding thought, but beautiful, excellent, work 2 thump up 👍👍
This is what happens when you don't pre-drill 2:40 otherwise very beefy and good looking table.
Thanks! Normally I would agree with you (God knows I've overlooked that step many times) however, that split was actually just from the wood drying naturally and was already there.

Randal Queen would you recommend using pegs? Just curious on the best system to allow for wood movement. Thank you in advance :)
These have been recommended by some: www.rockler.com/table-top-fasteners
