I'm thinking about building a farm table at MakeHaven for our front porch.

 

This is where I am getting the plans and instructions:

Day 1: 2 hours

- Purchased all of the wood from lowes for $110.00 (Only mispurchased one item. Those pesky 2x8's do a nice job of blending with the 2x10's)

- Kam has the Kreg Jig at MakeHaven. Its awesome. I cut and predrilled all of the wood.  I had some nice company from two other makers working on palette furniture. 

Day 2...

- I've constructed the table top and one set of legs. 3 hours.
