- We needed a new picnic table so I built one. Another thing crossed off the honey do list.
Materials:
9 2x8's ( 2 were pressure treated )
4 2x6's
3 2x4's
3 inch deck screws
1 1/2 inch deck screws
8 3/8" carriage bolts, 4 inches long, 4 3/8" nuts and 4 washers (all galvanized)
Weather proof deck sealer
water proof construction adhesive
Blood, sweat and tears
Tylenol
I got the plans for this table from This Old House.

Koolische !!! ... and I see how you listened to your "supervisor" and added those seat supports !!! ... gooten tavische, man !!!
Thank you and thanks for watching
your supervisor did a splendid job! That turned out nice!! REALLY NICE
Native Tearz thanks Dee and he is visibly upset when I wasn't working
Very nice! Thumbs up! Must be nice to have an electric saw and sander! I've known many people who have painted their picnic tables and used the indoors for a dinner table which is kind of cool. Have a great week! :-)
Great job! Your video shows the critical cuts and angles very well and makes it easy for me follow. Thanks for the hard work!!
Nowakezone Forever thank you so much for your kind words! And thanks for watching
Just finished making my picnic table, it turned out fantastic! Your video was a huge help and I referenced it many times during the building process. Thanks for the help :)
Blue Jay Films wow thank you so much. I’m happy to hear my video helped you!
Make it look so easy very nice I could watch you slice wood all day. It's so rewarding to build things yourself. Looks really cool big thumbs up x
Nice design and man you have a gorgious lawn !! I wouldve used longer screws or glue as well on those diagonals. Picnic tables are prone to rack.
Others have made the same suggestion. I'll keep that in mind if I make another, however the table is holding up very well, it just turned 3 years and we use it a lot! Thanks for watching! And thanks for complimenting my lawn!
I am making my very first picnic table on my own, thanks for the video I can do this !
Great I'm glad the video gave you the confidence. I would like to see some pictures when you're done.
Really nice work!, Tylenol , blood sweat & tears classic
Thank you.
Great construction. I built an outdoor bench now looking to build a picnic one like yours. Thanks!
Mans best friend for a supervisor, you can't beat that! The table is wonderful, good job on it :)
Thank you and thanks for watching.
Hi there when i built mine i halved the a frame 10 mil for strength and used 10mil bolts and d 4 polyurethane glue to hold it together👍
What is the length on the cross brace for the A frame? The one that gors across the two legs
Need 8 bolts (2 for each leg), not 4!! Great build. Tackling it today.
Heather Sitton lol thanks for picking that up.
awesome construction Lou! I love how you included the umbrella hole in the top of the table.
Thank you Opa and thanks for watching and your continued support
That is amazing!! I would never be able to make a picnic table. That looks absolutely fantastic!
Never say never! I'm sure you can! You can do anything if you put your mind and heart in!
Very beautiful picnic table! Thanks for sharing.
Lithical Icycle thank you and thanks for watching

Terimakasih atas ilmunya yang bermanfaat dan sangat mudah ditiru. Semoga sehat dan sukses selalu, Is the best.. 💓👍👍👍
the table turned out great Lou! this is something I've been wanting to build for my backyard for quite some time good video keep them coming brother
Thanks Joe! It was an easy build and can be done in one afternoon if you don't record for a YT video, that, as you know increases the project time tremendously. And of course if you are unorganized like me and spend more time looking for tools, your project time is again increased! LOL. Thanks for watching.
Your trash my treasure always. Brother!! And thats good to know..i can tell my wife.lolamd yea making a TH-cam video sets everything back a couple of days LOL
Great job. But what wasn't really explained was how to make the A frame. What was the length of the cross member and the angle that it was cut at?
Ellison Fernandez the cross braces are 66 “ long and cut at a 15 degree angle
Awesome! Lou you make that look so easy! Thanks for sharing!
Grizzlytaco thanks Ed
Interesting point the spacing with screws. Nice radial saw. I like that happy music and the sunlight images, put us in a nice mood. Must say, a happy project for happy times outside! Good done friend.
Thank you Daniel for your kind words and thank for watching.
thanks, nice, simple and to the point. Building one for my homestead!
Dennis Alan City Boy Homesteader thank you! I've been putting off making this for a while because I felt intimidated. I was very surprised how easy it was. Good luck making one
Now that has to be my Favorite TH-cam Build of the day Buddy. Great Job on the Double Bevel cuts to. I like this a lot Lou. It looks good and strong and a good size for all. Very well done on this Build Buddy. Thank you for sharing....Shared Everywhere I can.....
Thank you so much Terry for your kind words and continued support.
Your Very Welcome Lou :)
Very nice job and video, I hope you get tons of people to learn how to make a picnic table. I don't need one but you make me want to, lol. Thanks for sharing.
Nice job! I'd hate for that supervisor to get upset with me... he looks vicious 😉
Carolina Chris Outdoors he will smother with kisses! Thanks for watching
Can that paint be tinted? or is it whatever color they have? I built my Dining room table but we are receiving a new table and I want to put my table outside but want to sand and repaint it first.
There were different colors to choose from , the one I used was called natural which I assumed would be clear, but it wasn't . However I'm not disappointed with the color.
ok the top of table is currently an espresso brown and base is an off white color and want to try and keep it close if i can.
I'm sure there are plenty of options. I got to say, the water proofing of this product is amazing, I hosed it down and the water beaded right up!
Good job 👍, amazing looking
Thanks 👍
Why put the cleat so close to the cross piece. Doesn't it work if you move it in farther where there is less support?
Outstanding job bro turned out AWESOME!
Bubbas Garage Vlogs thank you and thanks for watching. BTW I got my brand new BG's T shirt yesterday! Thanks for the key chain and the red rubber Texas.
Absolutely, so awesome. Bobbie got the order on the new site and asked if I knew you. I was like YEAH!! Hook him up. You have one of our very new made in Texas custom car sents sweet
Thanks again

Excelente video. Saludos desde Mexico.
thank you!
hey mate, that turned out well! good job and nice vid, thanks for sharing!
Mark McCluney thank you and thanks for watching
One thing I would do, cut small 45° corners of benches so 90° corners not raking against passer by legs an knees.
Great suggestion. thank you.
Good job!
Lightning48 thanks
What kind of wood did u use for the table for example like ceder, pine, ect.
Joshua Ferland I used construction grade pine 2x8’s for the table. The legs were pressure treated pine 2x10’s
Your trash my treasure thanks for such a quick reply! I plan on making a picnic table for my mom this upcoming spring and ur video helped me out a lot.
Joshua Ferland I’m happy to hear that. I put off making it for a quite some time because I was intimidated by it. But surprisingly it was very easy to make. You should check out the video of the lazy Susan I make for it with the left over wood. That was super easy and your mom will love it.
Another awesome project thanks for sharing my friend I'm going to share it on my twitter and google plus :) have a awesome weekend!
Nathan-Man thank you I appreciate that
Great table, nice job!
Thank you and thanks for watching.

Kostas Annikas Deftereos thank you! And yes I hate to pay for wood. Thanks for watching and your continued support
That was sweet, now its time to fire that grill up ! Hope your honey do list is not as long as mine...lol.....
Big Rons Hobbies that list never ends, you finish one off the list and three more get added. Thanks for watching
Great work
your doing a great job keep it up an God bless you All
Thank you very much.
You add a 1x12 on pipe spacers on top to put plates of food out off the way for room on table for eating plates and drinks giving pass under to reach salt pepper napkins etc.
How long did you cut the legs?
That turned out great! Your little helper in the collar didn't seam like a lot of help though. :)
Thanks! His only purpose was to supervise and boy does he mean business, a true tyrant.
I can see that. LOL :)
how much did this cost? I'm considering building it.
at the time that i built it the cost was about 100.00
turned out great good job
thanks Drew and thanks for watching.
nice work my friend looks great
Woodturning F-Z thank you my friend
Nice... Whats the length of your table? Looks like 12' ?
Hammer Man thanks for watching. The length is 8 feet
Thank-you, the pictures at the end of vid. it looks huge. I'm building one from a reclaimed table that has steel square tubing as the structure. Going for 10' .... Cheers

Excellent work!
OldChevy4x4 thank you and thanks for watching
I enjoyed the video! Keep it up!
Thank you and thanks for watching.
I made 225 picnic tables for a campground all made out of 2x6 and galv bolts. Small screws would never give the the strength and u should birds mouth the leg stabilzers for even mosr stability
Great result mate, really nice looking & sometimes you just gotta spend a few dollars 👍👍
Sumo's Projects yes sometimes you have to bite the bullet and shell out some cash lol. Thanks for watching
came out quite nice Lou

How much was all of the lumber for this picnic table
Jake Mendibles total cost was $85.00 including the sealer
great job bro!!!!!!!!!
Thank you and thanks for watching!
Cuáles serían las medidas o donde las puedo encontrar?
Can anyone comment what length of boards that are used here? Eg length of the 2x8s? Thanks!
Let me check and measure, I'll get back to you.
Your trash my treasure great build but I am also curious about length of boards for seats and table tops
The table top is made with 5 boards 8 feet long 8 inches wide. The benches are made with 4 boards (2 for each side) they are 8 feet long 6 inches wide. The cross braces are 5 feet 7 inches long and 8 inches wide. The legs are 2 feet 6 inches long and 8 inches wide.
A couple of comments:
1. Those are not carriage bolts.
2. Those angled deck screws holding the bracing to the bottom of the table, partly exposed, seems a weak point; wouldn't it be better to drive them straight down?
3. Some measurements would be useful?
4. The music... ugh.
On the positive side, nice video generally. Helpful, thank you.
Nice job
Top!👏👏
The legs need to be further out, put two or three people on one side and my guess is it will tip over.
Maurice Ryton nope! It’s never happened. It’s very sturdy.
very cool
Michael Horsford thank you and thanks for watching
What size is a cross brace
Why the whole in the middle?
Ben R for an umbrella
@@Yourtrashmytreasure oh lol. thats a good idea, useful
Cool man

Are you kidding me! 😳 i hope no one sitting gets hurt

Remember the size on the cross brace
