so, i loves me some knock off wood. love! i've built several items, and have many more on my to do list.
most of the kids in our families seem to have been born in the summer months, so . . . kid-sized picnic tables were our gift of choice this year. well, those and magician/superhero capes and tutus.
but i digress. i made picnic tables. lots of them. (with a few modifications to the plans.) and timmy helped me.
i loved building them. ana really makes the plans so easy to follow. more like recipes than building plans. they were so sturdy! i filled my screw holes, sanded well, and put a lot of work into the painting. i cut and assembled the first two at the same time and then primed and painted them - a pain in the hiney!
after those first two, i cut, primed and painted the individual pieces, then assembled and touched up. took as much time - maybe even a little more - but it was way easier than trying to reach and get good coverage on all the undersides, in betweens and tight angles.
i have built nothing in weeks - these 100+ degree temps suck every bit of energy right out of me! i have two more picnic tables to build, then i'm on to timmy's headboard. then? who knows!

Good to know that some people knows how to make picnic tables. However, one reason that makers of park equipments are on the web for online purchasing is simply because most people don't have the knowledge or the time to make one.
