The plan for this table is below, but I would also like to share some photos of the building steps.

I used pocket holes to attach the apron to the legs. I used 4×4 lumber for the legs and 2×4 lumber for the apron.

Easy to assemble – just assemble two sets of legs –

Then add the rest of the apron to create the table frame.

Added an inner 2×4 support to support the cedar fence pickets. This makes the table very full.

Here is the umbrella frame I made.

Then just cut out the top with a jigsaw.

If you lay a long board on the top and cut it all at once, the cut ends will have a clean line.

This table just got a whole lot better! Can’t wait to see your boastful post!

Here’s the plan: I expect many builds to be made from it.
