The snow finally melted, the mud dried up, finally feels like spring. Couldn't stand it anymore, time to do something outside.
I didn't have any good ply, nor the $$$ to get some, so this prototype is made out of salvaged pressure treated 3/4 ply "liberated"
(yes, I did ask) from a construction site. Unfortunately it spent the winter out in the weather and is in less than stellar condition, but I'm going to forge ahead anyway. This one will definitely be painted. Maybe the Mrs. will help me with some kind of faux finish.
Anyway, to the pics (YAY!!!) Please ignore the "rustic" nature of my "workshop." (Lots of work to do before summer gets into full swing)
Started by cutting out the legs ...
Then cut out the top ...
Seat supports ...
And finally the seats ... (the first one anyway)
... more to come. Sanding, rounding over edges, dowel pins, finish, etc.
Initial thoughts ... not as comfortable as the big table (can't stretch out legs), but would be ideal for a board game or dinner with people that you like (the space available is reminiscent of sitting at a card table). It doesn't feel as sturdy as the big table either, but that may be a factor of the marginal materials that I'm using and the not-quite-perfectly-flat floor.
