wife wanted a new table/chairs for the back garden.... she didn't want to shell out loadsa dosh though...... I said I would attempt to construct one (me and my gob... need to learn to keep it shut at times)
fast forward 2 days... and here it is..... timber was £59 from Travis Perkins, Paint was £10, and screws were £8 from B+Q
tis not perfect I know.... but she is happy with it...... lost 2 days decent weather biking though..... may be even more days lost due to lower back pain now....HAHAHAHA...
Loks pretty good to me. I cant tell from the picture so i may be wrong but it looks like you could do with knocking of the square edges. I certainly wouldnt mind sitting on it and having a beer, good job fella.

Awesome. Cheers.
Was just scrolling down to ask for a cutting list and there it is 👍
I used CLS timber for the framework, which is cheap as chips.... but beware the 4x2 CLS is actually 3.5 x 1.5 (or 89mmx39mm, £6.58 per 4.8m length) ... I had to modify some of the measurements ....

Nice. It'll look great once you get the top coat on.
😉
Looks like a good job.
Though I'd maybe have just painted or oiled the one you already have?

This is one of the things that as long as I’ve been doing my job (timber floors) and having to buy various sizes of timber, has done my head in. It’s ok now that I know when I’m picking up something described as say, 100mm x 50mm, that it’s going to be a bit less than that. I think it comes from the sizes of the un-machined timber and then the size it is when it exits the machine. Just flipping label it as the size it is when you buy it - not some mystical size it once was. It’s not bloody fair on people less experienced. 😀

the old one was falling apart, it was an El Cheapo bought from Amazon about 3 years ago....
