Hexagonal Picnic Table

Great project Dick ! fun to see and bet it was a challenge to make

-- keeping myself entertained

I’d say it’s passed the test, Dick. Sometimes steel is best. That lake looks inviting. We finally have been getting some rain and the fire danger is way down. Our lakes are all about dry so yours really looks good.

This is a really good idea, Dick. Nice job!

Very cool, Dick. I’m quite envious of your view there as well!

Nice—I too like that there are no legs to hit with your toe or shin! The design also looks like a tree, so even though it is metal, it fits in with the environment nicely

I wonder who I can get to do the welding…

Nice table dick. Did you do the metal fabrication?

Thanks to All!
You may notice, that I also like to weld.

This is beautiful, I bet you use it a lot while you are up there. I would think that welding is kind of tricky since the metal bars all meet at the base close together. I hope Debbie makes this, I agree it blends in with the surrounding so well.

Dick said: “You may notice, that I also like to weld.”

And a damn good one at it you are! Not only the design is very intereting and smart but as Diane well pointed out, all the weldings converge in a very tight spot and that stresses this very point a lot. So I guess the test of 17+ years standing the elements outdoors proves the point.

Debbie, your remark about hitting toes with the legs sound painful. I’m not going to ask how’d you came with that… :oD

Now, that is what I call a very nice view. May I dare to ask where is your cabin, DIck?

The toughest part is getting the parts aligned, & clamped. Then you tack weld each leg. once that’s done, you just weld away.

Real nice and it compliments the view as well. Now if you had used spring steel for the seat supports the grandkids would never leave! LOL!

-- Bob Vila would be so proud of you!

Thanks Again!
Jojo, check this out for location.
