How I made this project

This is how you make the robust garden table. Order the pine wood to size. Choose the desired size for the top; this is 90×220 cm. Mark a recess of 4 cm wide and 5 cm deep on the 2 legs in the middle from the top with a square. Cut this out with a jigsaw. Cut a recess out of the underlap rail of 4 cm wide and 10 cm from the left and right side with a depth of 5 cm, so that the underlap rail can later be mounted in the recess of the legs. Drill holes in the legs 5 cm from the side with a 16 mm speed drill for the dowels. Also do this at the bottom of the table top, but then 27 cm from the side, and 20 cm from the front and back. Sand everything lightly and remove dust. Treat all material 3 times with Induline. Allow to dry thoroughly between treatments. Take the undershot rail and slide it into the legs, pre-drill the connection with a 5 mm wood drill and screw it in place with 5x100 mm screws. Put wood glue in the holes of the dowels and place them, place the top on the legs and bottom rail so that the dowels of the legs fall into the holes in the top. Drill 5 mm holes in the bottom rail with the wood drill and mount the spruce top to the bottom rail with 5x120 screws. Allow to dry and remove any excess glue.
