Talking

After my wife lamenting about having to move my daughter's table and chairs from the living room to the deck depending on where the mood had her hanging out. She suggested that I make her an outside table. Here's my scrap-licious afternoon quicky of a kids picnic table. Western Red Cedar, glued and screwed, and then a coat of Waterlox Original S/F slathered on. I will sand down the dust nibs and put on a few more coats of Waterlox. It's not heriloom quality, but in a few years she won't be able to fit in it so who cares. Cost nothing, other than the Waterlox, and a few hours in the shop. Hopefully, enjoyment, priceless




Thanks for looking

Dave

Honestly Honey, that will cost around $100 $150 $200, and I need a few more tools.

Dang-it DaveO! You've gone and done it again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

All in one afternoon???????????? That table sure looks like it would stand the test of time to me! That doesn't happen to be some of the Tea House scraps would it?

Another fine and envious job, DaveO!

Great looking table Dave. And to think......that was just scrape laying there in your shop when I visited last night. Thanks for getting the walnut for us. Those are some great looking boards I got from you last night.

Where else am I gonna come up with a bunch of Western Red Cedar. I like to add at least 15% more wood to all of my projects, so I can end up with some good scrap on someone else's tab
I got lucky and was able to rip down several 2 x 10 off cuts to give me almost entirely quarter-sawn stock, and then I re-sawed some of it to give me the 3/4" stock for the tops and seats. When you got waste you can have fun with your wood

That is just wonderful. I know your little girl will be thrilled to have her little friends over for picnics and what a nice picnic table to share milk and cookies on.

Beautiful table Dave. Just a few hours in the shop, huh. You must be using the high speed saw again.

I guess that it took around 6-7 hours to make, sand and slap on a little finish. So it wasn't that quick, but it was fun.
Thanks for everyone's kind words

Dave

Sweet work that is a really nice looking table. I think you probably need to change your name from Dave O to scrap king or something similar! Great job once again.
