This is a picture of the trestle picnic table that I built as a thank you
for some friends. It went to its new home August 24. Thanks to Swingman
for
design suggestions. Biggest lesson I learned from this project is that
when
compared to a router, a dado blade for the tablesaw adjusts much more
easily, is less messy, definitely quieter and a WHOLE LOT FASTER when it
comes to making tenons. Not having done this type of construction before,
I'm happy to say that it turned out much better than I expected.

Next table I hope to make will be a more refined, indoor version of this
table.

I'm absolutely tickled you got to use some elements of the design ... I
consider it an honor! Passing these things down is what it's all about.

Besides, you really did it proud, my friend!

You're right about the TS/dado stack combination for tenons ... it's been my
experience also.
