Beauty, strength, and craftsmanship come together in this unique patio table that even the most discerning woodworker can be proud of. The top features slats and cleats secured within an octagon-shaped frame, which you will later round off with a router and a trammel for cutting circles. We've included plans for building a quick trammel using scrap wood from your shop.

The base is made with through mortise and tenon joinery and half laps. We cut the pieces especially thick to make the table as strong as possible. Everything is secured with polyurethane glue and wood screws. This project was published in Woodsmith Magazine No. 142.

Suggested Power Tools: Table Saw, Dado Blade, Drill Press, Router, Jig saw.
