By Doualos Tuomey

There is something extremely
satisfactory and appropriate
about a sturdy wood table for
either the porch, lawn or patio.
When painted white or other
matching color, it goes we'll with
wrought-iron furniture: when
stained and vanished. with rus
tic furniture. Above all it is very
easy to make and inexpensive.
The table shown here is made
entirely of ordinary. sanded one
inch by four-inch finishing strip.
1t is nailed together with two
inch galvanized wire nails. No
bolts, nuts, angle-irons or braces
are used and it is as sturdy as
an old oak ship.
To make the table, first de-
eide upon the size you want and
then construct q plain frame
as shown running around under
the top strips. Next, decide on
q suitable height, and cut eight
pieces to size. Nail two together
Evening star., 1954-07-31
How to Build Potio Table

at right angles to make the four
legs. These are nailed to the
inside corners Of the frame
aligned with the top edge OF
the frame. Lastly, lay the top
strips which form the table top
and nail into the top edge OF
the frame. The job should take
any handy man about an hour
or two.
For those who want something
a bit better, heavier lumber can
be used and the parts assembled
with galvanized screws instead
of nails. Very interesting effects
can be developed by painting
the legs and frame white and
staining the top strips mahog-
any and then vanishing them.
It is important to note that
the top strips are spaced quar-
ter of an inch apart. This pre-
vents accumulation of water on
the top and promotes rapid dry
ing.
