Transcript:
– Hey! Welcome to Porter’s Projects. On this episode we are going to do “How to Make a Picnic Table”. This Picnic Table is going to have a burnt top on it, um you don’t have to, but that is what the customer requested on this project, so I hope you enjoy! Hey, So I have free plans for this picnic table, if you want them just go ahead and click the link in the description and enter your email and I will send you one over. So, first thing we need to do is go ahead and mark out all of the pieces that are going to go into it and cut them to length. Also making sure you get all of your angles cut. Now I got these all prepped. I ran them through the planer a couple of times and then sand them. uh I got them all cut to length, which is going to be eight feet even. We are going to have a burnt top, uh then we are going to pre-drill holes for the screws to go in. After you cut and pre drilled all your holes then you will want to go ahead and route your exposed edges. The reason for that is that, it does a couple of things it make the corners safer for people, so it’s not as sharp. The other reason why is it will decrease the amount of chipping if something does bump into the edge. To put together the legs, um, the legs consist of four pieces, you have your two uprights and then your two cross pieces. You will want to measure up from your foot or down from the top to where you want your stringer, the piece your seat is going to be on to get it in the right spot. after it is there, there is a couple of ways you could put it together. One is you mark out the holes prior, which will take a little bit more effort, on all the pieces and drill them. A little quicker way is just clamp the pieces together and then drill a hole and put the bolt in, um, that way you don’t have to worry so much about exact measurements. So to attach the table top and the benches to the rest of the frame, uh, I usually start in the center for the table top, I usually start in the center and work my way out, uh that way everything comes out even on both sides and for this table top we are actually butting everything up tight instead of spacing them out. um, you should have already pre marked and drilled the pilot holes that will line up with your table support. For the bench part you are actually going to start on the outside and work in. Hey, so we have a little bit left to do on the table still.
