Great work!
Ive been watching a lot of picnic table builds on YouTube, yours is the best. I like your attention to detail with routered and chamfered edges.
Thanks for the video.

Thank You !!
This is a well-made video. Everything is explained nicely. 👍👍👍👍👍
At what distance do you put the bench cross brace from the table?
Thank You for the cut list. You are the only one that I have seen do this. Once again Thank You !!!
Keep up the great job that you do so well.

Great video much enjoyed ty. I would like to make a table without the seat extensions, do I make everything the same and cut them to the frame, also how far in are the legs from the table edge. Many thanks

I do not plan to nail any supports for the top. Would 3” screws be too long?… can I get away with 2-1/2 “ screws all around? Love your work !

Question. What makes it custom. It looks just locally made. Nice work. #2 why are the ends not a usable seat at the table adding 4 more seats. Doesn't make sense to cut off 2ft. Of usable boards just to make a table have 4 less available seats. And I'm sorry but without a center stiffener at the bench height to restrict end to end movement. Those bolts will not hold that table together. Most table take most human contact at the long ends where there is no bench seat.

What’s the height from the top of the seat to the ground?

[michaelsenecal]

Which boards are you using for the bench support and table legs? The 12' 2x6's or the 8' 2x6's

Nice table! How far from the edge of the table is your table top ties?

[therealjohnsquad]

Are you using galvanized framing nails?

[micahmorrison]

Is that material list for one table or two like you’re working on in video?

[MarvAll]

No material and cut list at all

[jackoconnell]

No spaces between the table top boards?
