June, 2008 :
I got the plans off the web, modified them slightly and built the table from scratch, it was the first time I've used my calculator for a while. Yes, the feeling of building wooden things is brilliant, each time you learn a bit more about wood and a lot more about yourself.
I built one of these about 18 years ago when we moved into our Townhouse, back then it was a kit and I decided that this time I'd just work from a simple plan.
The dancing queen reference? - well, the sister in law, 18 years ago, stated at a party that if we had Abba's Dancing Queen then she would dance on the aforementioned picnic table, and we did, so she did.
