You can build this table using redwood, cedar, or pine. Protect the wood by applying paint or stain. This is an easy to build project but it will require several angle cuts. The easiest way to cut these angle cuts is with a miter saw. See the plans below for assembly instructions.
(A) Four 2×4’s 1′ 11″ 25 degree angle cut on both ends, same direction.
(B) Two 2×4’s 2′ 1 1/4″ 25 degree angle cut on both ends, opposite direction.
(C) Two 2×4’s 3′ 6 3/16″ 25 degree angle cut on both ends, opposite direction.
(F) Two 2×4’s 1′ 8″ 45 degree cut on both ends, opposite directions.
Start by cutting the legs (A). Cut four 2×4 boards to 1′ 11″. Next make a 25 degree angle cut on both ends running in the same direction.
