It has finally cooled down enough for me to do some shop work so I started this table to be used on the deck at our beach house. Maybe I can actually set down a cool beverage once in a while now:rotflm: The top is two rings that sandwitch the slats in place. The bottom will have stretchers and tapered legs when compleated. I wish I had seen the latest issue of FWW before I cut out the legs. They show a neat jig to cut the angles. Looks like a real time saver.
