    Outdoor patio table

    Started this over the holidays.
    Used some big 20" ceramic tile samples we had lying around. I thought they were the same but they were were 3/8" difference.
    Designed the table height and style completely on my own. Using Cedar and Pressure treated pine. And some 4x4 reclaimed posts.
    Decided on a trestle style so no knee knocking. Low Apron thickness so plenty of lap and thigh overhead clearance. Made it wide enough to seat two side by side two more across. Matches the bench I designed.

    There's some half laps, an untraditional apron, Z-clips holding the top to the base. The table frame is made of cedar 1x6 and biscuit joints.
    I put a rim around it underneath to give it more stiffness and look thicker. And then used a flush trim bit.
    1/2" rabbet (chiseling out the 8 corners took way longer than the rabbet routing. It was too large for the cornel chisel tool.
    Milled some .375 x .180 inch inlays to make the smaller tile fit. Thank god for the Ryobi micropositioner on the rip fence.
    Liquid Nails to mount the tiles. Hope they don't fall out.
    Overall 29" x 52"

    No finish. Over time it will darken gray and match the bench.

    If your only tool is a hammer, you tend to treat all problems as if they were nails.

    Nicely done, and that explains the pic the other day with the clamps! I have a different design in mind, but I need to build something like that for the back yard.

      Nice work, great design. I absolutely hate miserable tables designed with crap under them that hit your legs, knees and feet and prevents you from pulling yourself up to the table to eat. When I was building dining tables I refused to build a custom table for someone if it didn’t have 4 legs!
