Default Potting Table for SWMBO

That looks too good to use for it's intended purpose. Are you prepared to build
another when she decides to keep this one inside?

We had some 1'x1' granite tiles left from a previous project and SWMBO wanted to
salvage those. One of the ideas was a potting table for her gardening hobby. All
the supporting wood is white oak and the other parts are cedar. There are no fancy
joints - all the parts were glued together and heavy dowel pins were added later for
mechanical support. The drilling holes for the dowels were then covered with plugs.

I was concerned for the exposed end grains in the vertical beams and added small roof
tops for them.



The grid under the tables was done from white oak and the paper towel beam locking is
done with a magnet.
