It isn't THAT easy anyway. Butt joints would have been easier than mitred.

KEEP IT SIMPLE!

Under one photo it says, "Choose screws that are long enough to have at
least half their length in each pieces". That's a puzzler.

By my count the project takes about 34 board ft of cedar. To make the
$50 price estimate they would have to get the wood fairly cheaply,
something like $1.47 a board foot. I think cedar goes for more like
$3.80 a board foot which would put the project at $129 before hardware
and finishing supplies. A simple table like this can be had from Ikea
for $79. It is certainly more fun when you build it yourself but I
think the cost estimates on these projects should be a little bit more
realistic.

Have you ever watched her show on PBS? It is Saturday morning for me. My
favorite is when she screwed a board to the workbench (twice in the same
episode).



We watch it just for the laugh.

Yeah, that looks easy alright. So does the table.

Hmmm. Never heard of her. I'll have to take a look.

Western Red cedar goes for $3 a bf here for select and better, $2,25
for #1 common- both still well above the estimate above.

Not to mention their ideas about what the "world's simplest table"
might be. I'd think a piece of plywood on a milk crate would be quite
a lot simpler, myself.
