Wife wanted a picnic table for our little one, so that's how I spent Sunday afternoon. Came out fairly well I think for a guy with two left thumbs. BKH

That's pretty cool. Is she going to get a miniature Coors Light umbrella for it? ------------- |

About $80 in lumber. Redwood, but it looked pretty bad before I sanded it. Of course afteward I wish I had taken more time to line up screw holes, etc. But, it is a kids table. Not like it has to last forever, and only took me couple hours just plowing through it. HW, She'll get some kind of mini umbrella, but I think Elmo is more likely than Coors Light.

How nice! That's something she'll always treasure. Wait til her kids are sitting on those benches. Scary, huh? ------------- |

Very nice!
I think projects made for someone in particular always come out better.  ------------- http://correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=2331&sort=&pagenum=12&yrstart=1986&yrend=1990" rel="nofollow - 1988 BFN-sold "It's a Livin' Thing...What a Terrible Thing to Lose" ELO |

Brian, nice work for beautiful little girl. Be sure to share a soda or milk shake with her. I've got a picture of my eldest doing just that and it's one of favorites when she was that age. Wished the table was as pretty as yours. ------------- "Morfoot; He can ski. He can wakeboard.He can cook chicken.He can create his own self-named beverage, & can also apparently fly.

Nice job! Without a close inspection, this shop teacher bets it will last for quite a while. |
