Just wanted to say thank you for the great plans and easy to follow instructions. I completed the picnic table and finished it off with a nice gingerbread stain all in one evening.
Here are some pictures.

Hi Guys,
Built the traditional picnic table (2m long seats and top) yesterday, very easy to follow plans and everything fitted without hassle. Took me about 4 hours to complete and is an excellent size and height.
I have attached a picture.

I've just finished making this picnic table and I'm very pleased with the result. I made it out of oak 2 1/4" finished planed thickness. So it should last for years and years. I live in Italy and am fortunate that I got all the wood virtually free from a manufacturer of oak wine barrels ( the really big ones!) all the oak that he rejects because they have a slight problem eg knots or small fissures I buy for the price of firewood i.e.approx $10 for 220 pound (100kg).
One problem that I did find fortunately very early in the construction was that your excellent plans and instructions had a fundamental error. The conversion of imperial versus metric measurement was wrong. In Italy I work in metres but on this design I had to work in inches which worked out perfectly OK.
Now looking forward to the next project and keep up this excellent web site I know that it gives lots of people like me a lot of pleasure.
Best regards
