Outdoor Dining Table
Looking for plans for an outdoor dining table with little success. Google, normally a good friend, was no help. Neither were any of the numerous WW magazines or websites I subscribe to.
It's odd because I wasn't searching for anything out of the ordinary, just a rectangular one, say 8' or less in length, 3' or so wide. I was probably going to use cedar and maybe try a castle joint on the corners, my first time doing that. Girlfriend already has some metal chairs that she likes, so I don't need plans for those. Any help or information would be appreciated. Thanks. Mark

Try searching Youtube, there are several videos on building outdoor dining tables, some might have plans. Here's one which does. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r4bqEAWtWwY

Can’t find it ,myself. Anybody know what happened to it ?

Thanks Doug! I wasn't going to make one with folding legs but that
Bourbon guy was fun to watch.

Yeah, he is a character. I think if you search a bit on Youtube you should find something that meets your needs. If no plans you could reverse engineer it from the video.

Attachment 465258Attachment 465259Attachment 465260The outdoor table is done. Breadboard ends with haunched tenons. The legs are joined to the frame by M&T with oak pegs. The table is made of clear(mostly) cedar which was expensive and tough to find in central PA. I learned the hard way that drawboard technique should NOT be used with cedar, it's too soft and weak. The first peg I hammered through blew off a big chunk of wood. The SS drawer was worth it. I figured since it's outside and has to deal with humidity swings, a metal one with plastic runners was the way to go.
