My wife wants one too. I'm all ears. My picnic table I made was not sufficient enough to qualify as a farm table. 
You can avoid having ulcers by adapting to the situation: If you fall in the mud puddle, check your pockets for fish. ~Unknown
Open your eyes & look within, are you satisfied with the life youre living.
No matter how good or bad you have it, wake up each day thankful for your life. Someone somewhere else is desperately fighting for theirs.

The solution to any problem - work, love, money, whatever - is to go fishing, and the worse the problem, the longer the trip should be. --John Gierach ![[Linked Image]](https://texasfishingforum.com/forums/pics/userpics/2019/09/full-13-25328-gco.jpg)

Something like this? I had a buddy make one pretty similar, want to say it cost him less than $100 in materials to do it. He just downloaded plans and got to work. Painted the base a white color, then a dark stain for the top.

I second the Kreg suggestion. Go ahead and get the actual Kreg brand...far better than competition. To really do a first class top job, truing the lumber with a good table saw followed by surface planing can have a tremendous effect on fit & quality of the table-top joints. If you are going for super-rustic, you can skip the prep, but fit and unevenness can get quite crude with stock #2 material. After longitudinal boards are joined for the top, trim each end with a circular saw using a clamped guide before attaching bread-board ends. I like to use a little glue along with the pocket-hole screws - strength is even better, and you can stretch the screw spacing a bit more.

Just built this coffee table for a client. I'm about to do something similar for her for a kitchen table. Like others have mentioned, Kreg Jig. This is old cedar flooring from an old store here in town.

This. Exactly this. You can get some complete plans of pretty nice stuff at Design Plans I second the Kreg suggestion. Go ahead and get the actual Kreg brand...far better than competition.
