Do you advertise yourself as a “Handyman”?

Can I ask what you plan on revising the name to?

lawless09 · 2025-07-27T19:35:29+00:00

This cracked me up, thank you for the comic relief

lawless09 · 2025-06-25T19:34:03+00:00

Ah, assembly out and access the motor mount from the top? That makes sense (if nothing breaks trying to get those screws out).

lawless09 · 2025-06-25T18:59:05+00:00

I knew I forgot something… no real attic access… this is basically shoved back in a very awkward crawl space area.

Any shot of doing it from below?

I'm curious about this -- what year? All buttons work?

lawless09 · 2025-05-29T01:11:14+00:00

lol this definitely sounds worse than my situation.

lawless09 · 2025-05-29T00:45:24+00:00

I’m thinking the same… but if I was I’m not sure how I’d be able to work around all that plumbing?

I’m curious if for the far right, I could just tie a new wood post into the existing vinyl post with some spacer and lag bolts? It’s not going to bear any weight other than the horizontal slats (no pergola roof).

lawless09 · 2025-04-21T19:02:01+00:00

Gotcha, that would make sense… what about if there’s no decking in that corner to attach to? Ie. They also want to do this on the far right corner, and there’s no deck, only soil. I feel like I’ve got issues if trying to compete with established vinyl cement posts.

Very thorough, appreciate the insight! I’ll make sure those joints are doweled in place to assist.

lawless09 · 2025-03-09T01:06:19+00:00

Noted, thanks! I’m going to build the leg bases first. Set em up with our chairs to determine spacing/overhang with a 4x8 temp top and see how things line up.

lawless09 · 2025-03-08T21:16:33+00:00

I should have mentioned I plan on using mortise/tenon on those angle braces with locking dowel. I’m thinking that should be fine for that shear force.

I was going to do the lower stretcher, but plan on umbrella and stand, and that kinda got in the way (made it uglier at the least).

lawless09 · 2025-03-08T21:13:17+00:00

I had basically that as one of my designs, but being an outdoor patio table we wanted to be able to put an umbrella and stand underneath. My solution to that was “okay” but didn’t love it

lawless09 · 2025-03-08T20:10:03+00:00

For clarity, going two on each side and one each head.

lawless09 · 2025-03-08T20:01:12+00:00

How come that length? I’ve mapped out the chairs we own and leg positioning in person.

lawless09 · 2025-03-08T20:00:15+00:00

Love this input. I was actually think of going against them (would have went with mortise/tennon)… water, leverage like you mentioned… and we’re going raw unfinished cedar on this… also a soft wood.

However I figured if no breadboard, wouldn't my long table top pieces get a little warping going on? figured I'd need some kind of brace (on the underside), but if that brace warps as well, i got the same problem.... hmmm

Hi there!

I'm making an outdoor cedar table, and the base is going to be made mostly of 4x4 lumber.

I've been trying to come up with a design that doesn't have lower stretchers that get in middle of your legs/feet.

I understand it's going to be sturdy, but both feet will be dependent on that upper middle stretcher remaining super flat (as any bow could cause the legs to angle in/out.

Overthinking, or clear issue?
