okay guys I decided to use 3/4" BC (sanded plywood) rather than treated because of the chemicals and the fact that I would like to paint it right away.
First let me introduce you to the builders. Me and London my 3yr old. He has his safety glasses, tape measure and recip. saw and his Ward Const. hat
My first step was studying the plan and then I taped it with masking tape to the area of the board that would be the table top. This way it would be handy and outta the way too.
I used a T square and pencil for the majority of the Layout, it was very handy and I recoment this method. Not only will it keep you sqauare its cleaner than a chalk line. Please note you will see in my pictures that I didn't seperate everything for the 1/8 blade, It just made the layout way too complicated, everything should work out though we will find out after everything is cut
On the parts that line up such as the seat support groove I marked them at the same time being that I already had a square line at the correct measurement.
I do have one concern and that is there isn't going to be much left on the seat legs at the dowel notch, and the plans only give the center for the notch.
After all of the straight lines were marked out I needed to make the radius for the table top. The plan calls for 3" R ,the best thing I could find was a 3" pvc street 45*. It is a little larger but should be fine. There are different ways to make a radius but using something for a pattern is faster, simpler, and consistant.
After an hours worth of work this is what we have accomplished so far.
We would have kept working but I promised the boy I would take him fishing in our Lake. He deserved it he worked hard
More pictures to come next week. !
