I have just made a picnic table for one of my decking and then I seen this one four square picnic table I first seen it then Anna white made it I have to say you made it look so simple and you explained every single detail so well I think I'm blind man could have made it well done for that this will be my next project for my other decking I will pretend to my partner it's my own design maybe I will get some brownie points all the best and thank you from here over the water in the Republic of Ireland
Merci beaucoup, vraiment, sorry but I dont speak english very well, I'm going to try to do the same table but with palet wood (😅) Thank you for the video .
Awesome video brother. I’ll be attempting this soon. I think I would sand the wood prior to assembly making it easier. I’m no carpenter either but I think I can knock this one out. Thanks for posting brother.
It’s very easy. I agree, if you take the time to sand and stain prior to assembly it would make it easier. I am always pressed for time so I build it and then stained it a few days later.
great video thanks for the share i noticed at the end you said a lot of your cuts were off by an 1/8th of an inch that is because in the beginning you measured and put lines all the way down your board without taking the kerf into effect. The kerf of your blade is 1/8 of an inch so some would be an 1/8th and some more the further you go down your board. You are better off setting a stop block or cutting one and using it as your template then you wont be off. But all in all great job!
Ana always up to something interesting, I've been wanting to make it, but I've learned not to trust my Ryobi miter saw with cutting correct angles. Or their table saw, for that matter. Has anyone in the comments also made the tragic mistake of buying Ryobi? How do you trick them into working correctly? Neat looking design, though.
Not too bad. But use cleats because no matter the finish, the water is eventually going to seep into all those screw holes on the table top and seats. At least maybe fill them, but there goes the esthetics again. Cleats won't add too much to the cost, so it's the best bet. And, exterior wood adhesive makes a world of a difference for added strength. But that's just anal me.😉
My son's building this table for his Eagle project but with detached benches. He needs to ensure the table is braced structurally. What's the best way to do this (keep in mind we are newbies at this!)?
I ended up using metal “L” brackets underneath at the corners. With detached seats the table should be fine. It’s only when you create the table with attached seats where additional bracing is needed. Good luck 👍🏼
Hey Matt, I am trying to build a double chair with the table in the middle. Have you done that? Any pointers? The prices of wood are so expensive, and I don't want to mess up. Could you do one for us?
I’ve considered one but as you mentioned, prices on wood are crazy these days and even finding wood is a challenge. I’ll see what I can come up with in the near future.
@@DieselLegiance yay! I also would like to make a freestanding porch swing. My husband asked me not to spend more than a thousand a month so I have to choose wisely as I want a nice tablesaw
I built the table with untreated because I stained it with waterproof stain. My deck was built with treated lumber. I stained the deck too but didn’t like the color after awhile so I pressured washed the stain off the deck and plan to refinish the deck with a new paint or stain.
i build it exactly as shown but has a problem when two people sits on one side it just flips up so i decided to make changes to the legs that works but looks ugly lol.
@@DieselLegiance where the 22'' and the 23'' are for the legs dont put the bottom peice with the 45 degree peice instead square off the bottom so it sit on the ground flat by making a L shape and connect it at both ends, wish i could send you a pic to explain more.
I like your video explaining how you built this table but I don't like your poster of the biggest con artist and dangerous compulsive liar in history on your wall!
Go F yourself !!! Joe Biden is the GREATEST CRIMINAL to have ever 'served America' !!! The evidence is finally coming out, and you know it, as of December 2022 !!! Watch the video, thank the guy here, and LEAVE the video (preferably, you'll LEAVE America !!!)

Sorry, I’m not a professional carpenter and I apologize for not showing this in further detail but I just figured a 45 degree and used my speed square at each end of the brace.
@@DieselLegiance Sorry if I’m nitpicking,but on measurement on the Braces I measured 21 3/8,I only could measure out on one end 18 3/8.But on the other end it did have the 18/3/8 measure.So I measured 18 in,from that point I cut a 45 degree angle.Well anyway thanks for the tips,the Picnic Table looks great by the way great job.👍😀
I made it and my family thinks I am a professional woodworker lol. I wish you had more woodworking projects. You are a great teacher!
Nice job. Needs a center support on table and all seats. As soon as it sets in the sun, everything will move. Carpenter here.
Very nice my men love it
Great video. I'm a total rookie when it comes to stuff like this and your directions were spot on.
Wonderful job explaining! Thank you!

Just make sure you add additional screws at the corners for support. I had to add more myself.

Thank you. I am still new to wood crafting and appreciate your tips.
Of course you still did an outstanding job!

nobody fill holes in picnic tables, its a waste of time being that its outdoor . it will rot eventually.
Great table! I need to build one with detached benches. How do you recommend to make the benches so they are stable?
Just miter the legs in an “X” pattern at the sides of each bench.

How does the table last so far without using treated wood?
It’s good. I use it as a shooting table but I did paint it with an outdoor paint/stain so that helped.
Did you build your deck with un treated lumber seeing your walking on it?
I built the table with untreated because I stained it with waterproof stain. My deck was built with treated lumber. I stained the deck too but didn’t like the color after awhile so I pressured washed the stain off the deck and plan to refinish the deck with a new paint or stain.
Just a question, is the table easy to move ? (how many people are necessary ?)
It’s heavy so at least two people.
i build it exactly as shown but has a problem when two people sits on one side it just flips up so i decided to make changes to the legs that works but looks ugly lol.
Lol me too…

What are the end dimensions?

Can you use wood Glue before you screw the pieces?
Sure 👍🏼
You didn’t show how you made the Angle 45 degrees for the braces for the seats.👎🤔

@franksolis8660 I wish I could remember what I did as this was a while ago. I stained in black and now use it in my field as a shooting table lol.
