I’m looking to build an eating area for my back porch and am looking for some input. I want to build a counter height (~36”) table at 6’ long and in the 24-30” width range. My main question is what do you all suggest for the base? Typical 4 leg and apron or maybe something different? Wife is wanting to use bar stools for the seating. A little more background, I have built a few small tables and other small projects so basically a noob.
Stationary tools:
table saw
drill press
miter saw
Other tools:
plunge/fixed base router
jig saw
sander
kreg k5
smattering of bar, f-style, and quick clamps
and other common stuff
Also any tip for wood species or finish would be welcome. Porch is covered but there is still some rain blown in. Thanks!
