Identifying the pieces
Fernando Oliveira, Brazil
I purchased several of your plans a few months ago and finally got around to building the Kids size folding picnic table.
It turned out great and my wife loves it. She says she wants to keep it instead of selling it.
Hard to make any money when she takes all my projects I build to sell.
Just wanted to let you know that item “k” – rear seat brace is angled wrong in the plan. The angles cannot be the same direction as it is drawn in the plan.
I also found that by making it 12-3/4 inches at the long ends, it fits much nicer on part “I” – rear seat lower rail with very little overhang that can be cut off for a smooth flush finish.
Thanks again for the plans.
