I知 looking to build a small table to go on the front porch and I知 looking for any advice anyone is willing to give. Currently what I知 planning is a mortise and tenon frame with a solid wood top. This will be my first time attempting a mortise and tenon joint, so any pointers would be appreciated. This will be done with fairly limited tools such as plunge router, miter saw, handsaw, and some other basic hand tools. Also, I知 wondering if I should do a solid top and what finish I should use for it if I do. The table will be on my covered front porch, but it will still be exposed to a fair amount of moisture from blowing rain, fog, etc.
