Mind including time spent, tools used, cost of materials, and cost of sealing it off?

So far though I like them. The first set up not to fond off though looks skinny in some places. Still nice job though.

If you're talking about the picnic tables then:
The first table took around 7 hours total, but I had a lot of thinking and planning to do which is included in that time, I also had to make 3 store trips which is also included in that time, cutting and assembly was probably around 4 hours, I was figuring things out as I went.
Tools used: Compound miter saw, cordless drill, speed square, combination square, tape measure, screws, carriage bolts, ratchet, wood glue, sandpaper. That's about it for tools/hardware/fasteners.
The second table took 3 hours, again I was kind of planning and cutting as I went, and I was doing it in the dark.
Same tools here.

Large table was around $85 in lumber/fasteners.
Small table was around $40 in lumber/fasteners.
I didn't seal it because it's already all pressure treated lumber, nothing more needs to be done to it.


The mantle I built, I didn't really log hours, the lumber was around $120, overall probably took maybe 6-7 hours to build.
I used screws, brad nails, wood glue to assemble. Same tools.

The desk I built was just 2x4's, 1x12's, screws.

Not a fan of the first thing, but very solid looking tables. Where you getting pallets with such nice wood?

Everything in this thread is store bought lumber, the previous thread linked in the first post has pallet projects. There will soon be pallet projects posted here, once I get my hands on some nice ones.

I'm going to be building lots as soon as this stupid rain stops! I've got a dozen picnic tables to build also.
I need ideas for other things to build!
Outdoor end tables?
