Ths the first thing I really made outof wood. It is a bench that folds out to a picnic table. This is not the actual table but in identical in how it works. There were a lot of parts that needed to be cut and shaped, all from 2X4 cedar. It was made out of cedar that a friend got for me from a pallet factory he knew of. The only wood I bought for this was the long seat and table boards.
The actual assembly was for the most part very easy. I bought the plans for it at a trade show I went to. They are available for purchase online. Just type in benchtable into your search engine.

This is too cool. Great idea! I did a search and was unable to locate these plans. You have any more info on this? Neat idea~

I’ve always wanted one of those, very cool! There’s also another design which folds over in a 180-degree type fashion instead of sliding. Plow and Hearth, Picnic Table/Bench. This one does seem a little easier to operate. Nice project!

Ted,
Did you try to contact them to see if they would sell you a set of plans? I’m sure they would, since shipping an entire picnic table is out of the question. I looked at my plans and tried to find their website. Itappears to be taken down.
Maybe I’ll try, once I get back to work next week to convert mine to an electronic format. Then I can send them via email.
