This is the real deal. You have probably seen most of this video in advertisements for Roy's Woodworking. He has stolen my video content to use it as his own in promoting his scam woodworking plans. I repeat. This is the real deal. I am not afraid to show my face in my videos but if you look at the clips he has stolen you will never see me only my hands. You can find the plans here. www.davegatton.com/project-plans

Dave Gatton can give the measures and cuts for this beautiful work

[@johnnyking2965]

Just bought the plans. Perfect size for friends that want one built.

[@greglambert6493]

Absolutely beautiful job on this, Dave!! I was so impressed, as was my fiance, that I just purchased the plans for this off of your website. I can not wait to see them in my email as I am very anxious to get started on this project. :)

[@SteveCarmichael]

I've seen pics of this but have not see it built yet. Breaking it down to the three assemblies does make it easier to see how it works. Good video.

[@DaveGatton]

Steve Carmichael Yes it really not hard to make at all Steve. Only a couple of measurements are really critical. Thanks for watching.

[@robinmarks6351]

built this. came out awesome. had a great dinner party with friends on my balcony. all thanks to the bench...

[@DaveGatton]

+Robin Marks Thanks for the comment Robin. I would love to see a picture of your bench/picnic table. :-)

[@jmn9000]

I love it! Purchased the plans and got it done! Thanks

[@SawDustMakerRJM]

My wife first saw this Bench Picnic table awhile back and wanted me to make one. Now that you are making up the plans I am sure I will be making one soon. Thanks Dave.

[@DaveGatton]

Saw Dust Maker Thanks for watching Richard.

[@tedkreeger2638]

Great. I am waiting for the plans Dave. I build one like this and have good success selling them. But I like this one, it is a lot beefier and simplifies the design a little. Thanks Dave. I am still working on building my CNC too.

[@DaveGatton]

Ted Kreeger Thanks for watching Ted. Let me know how your CNC turns out. I think you're going to like it.

[@midlifecrisis8163]

New subscriber because of this table. Thank you for the easy to understand and affordable instructions. I have been wanting to build one of these for some time and now I have the means. Thank you!

[@DaveGatton]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@MariaFlores-tl3im]

@@DaveGatton where can i get the plans for this project please help me.

[@keiththomson2153]

Great project for all. Thanks for sharing Dave.

[@hervevandevoorde8457]

Excellent projet. Good job. Thanks Dave from France

[@marknantais8283]

Great project dave, thanks for showing us.

[@DaveGatton]

***** Thanks for watching Mark.

[@charleyandsarah]

Wonderful video and explanation. Very neat picnic table/bench. Thanks for sharing.

[@DaveGatton]

Slowvannah Farms Thank you so much for watching!

[@alisfair]

+Dave I have made two of your bench/picnic tables. I found one bad dimension (at least I could not find the dimension). The second table was a real winner and I loved the results!! Thanks and wonder what is a good price to ask for it with or without finish coats? I filled all the 2x4s and holes. It works and looks awesome. Thank you!

[@DaveGatton]

+tom purcell If you're talking about the dimension for the Stop Block that dimension was left off intentionally. That should be the last piece you put on and you simply cut a 65° angle the hold it up to the table (which should be level when doing this) and trace the profile so that you get an exact match. The other chamfer cut is just for relief so the dimension for that is not critical.

[@alisfair]

Hi Dave, Love the table and get lots of compliments on it. Have made 3 so far. Wish you would not go to 1/64 ths lol. Think a 1/32 or 1/16 would be easier to see for me.

[@JorgeFlores-wm6zf]

Wow...Very nice

[@runnningbear1]

Hi Dave I'm sorry but I looked all over for the blue print for the bench / table. Is there anyway you can send me a copy of it. You do great work as I see. Thank you.

[@danielmoriarty2704]

how can I get a blueprint to build this table?

[@martinignacioforte433]

Desde Argentina feliz de tener ya los planos y poder empezar a construir el banco

[@tonioguirado5707]

martin ignacio Forte no conseguí por ningún medio poder adquirirlos. Podría usted mandármelos por email si no le fuera demasiado inconveniente ? Gracias de antemano. Mi correo es [e-mail]

[@rickwilke9399]

So... I saw the title and thought... Hmmm... Is that supposed to be a picnic table bench??? Then I saw the start of the video and it all clicked! That is REALLY cool Dave!

[@jeffoz1233]

Very cool project. I may suggest making the table top using 1x4's just to make it a little bit lighter.

[@DaveGatton]

Jeff Oz You could use 1 x 4's for the table to make it lighter but I was thinking it might be a little flimsy in the middle since it is only supported at each end and its about a five foot span. I used fourteen 2 x 4's and with the bolts, nuts, and washers I only have about $60 in total materials. A really fun and cheap project. Thanks for watching Jeff.

[@arosado6604]

Nice.

[@anthonyclewley7730]

Hi Dave--Im a little confused on how to get your plans. I would love to build one or two!!

[@sanisonsound]

fabulous!!!

[@vistastang]

It appears that friction with the legs on bench 2 in the grass is the only thing keeping the table from collapsing? Do you feel it's sturdy and safe in the table mode? As always thank you for your video Dave.

[@DaveGatton]

Marcus White You have a very keen eye Marcus. I realized when I opened it up to the Picnic Table I had forgot to add the stop blocks to keep the legs from over-extending. I added them after I finished shooting this video. Good catch!!

[@frankingram3382]

Dave I really enjoyed your build here but I had a problem hearing you. I had my volume turned all the way open but could hardly hear you. The build was great but I have no idea what you said.

[@t33ror]

nice !!i need too the plans pls!

[@ncondeg]

Great project!

[@Rafaela-lc7vh]

Wow 💯💯

[@butchking4096]

Dave, what is the measurement of the pivot hole on part BPT-3 ?

[@letsenjoyyourtime4680]

I'm going to build one thanx old man i really appreciate that cheers ')

[@nixonhernandez5214]

could you make this in a diferent way, like from a sofa into a dinning room table kind of way?

[@JimDockrellWatertone]

Very cool!

[@danilodumandagan2821]

amazing.

[@davidmatthews7015]

Hi I took your comment about 4 by 2 literally and bought all 4 by 2. I since realized that it's not actually 4 by 2 but 3.5 by 2. Is this gonna effect the build much

[@leewardiv]

I can't wait to build this! my wife will be amazed. how did you coat and paint the bench?

[@aampudia8]

how many 2x4 do you need for this???? i want to know to calculate how much would i spend making it.... thank you!

[@roscommon33]

[@ugurcalhan5705]

Hi, I'm sorry. The folding table is very nice congratulations. I would like to do the same but I can give you the measurements. Thank you.

[@petermaurer9567]

how do I get the plans ?

[@johnfriedel1762]

Hi Dave, I found no plans for this project on your website.Please let me know where they are located.

[@DaveGatton]

John friedel Are you serious? How could you miss it?

[@MrBombilla]

Hi I tried to buy the plan for the foldable table, but the PayPal ask me you email or phone number. How can I pay you please? Cheers.

[@vinimoura388]

consegui me enviar projeto em português

[@Mark-lm3ye]

cant get the table top to fold over seat 1. all the measurements are correct. dont know what the hells gone on

[@DaveGatton]

You're measurements MUST be incorrect if it not working correctly. Double check your measurements.

[@williambarroso7398]

would've been nice if you actually gave measurements

[@DaveGatton]

+William Barroso Thank you for watching William. All of the measurements needed to build this project are in the plans that are available on my website. The link for my website is in the description.

[@williamdizon5740]

Hello Dave I enjoyed the video very much but I don't understand why you charging for the plans on your bench/table. I disagree very much......

[@DaveGatton]

+William Dizon Thank you very much for watching my video William. I spent a few hours creating a 3D model and drawings of the bench/picnic table parts, figuring out all the correct angles, the correct hole locations, the correct dimensions, the correct pivot points, and the correct spacing to name a few things not to mention the time it takes to shoot the video, the time it takes to edit and upload the video so that others could easily build this project but if you don't feel like that information has any value to you I have no problem with that. Don't purchase the plans.

[@greglambert6493]

+William Dizon Ummmm if you don't think this mans know how and time and effort it took him to design the build and then the time and effort it took to make the blue prints and to shoot the video are worth the piddly $12 he is charging to purchase the plans then, well, go try to make it yourself.....smh.

You are good I hope that I do like you

sou brasileira se puder me dar um suporte agradeço imensamente.....abs

[@felixfelix137]

A si eu entendesse inglês

[@leemarsden5574]

Nice video until I see your charging people for the plans

[@DaveGatton]

Why shouldn't I charge for the work that I've done. They are still really inexpensive.

[@Zulwind]

I hate you people selling the fucking plans.

[@DaveGatton]

Then why don't you design it yourself? I hate people that think EVERYTHING is supposed to be free.

[@nkel6111]

its reasonable...trump makes 193 bucks/hour. that's getting shafted, overpaid.

[@brianmitchell3725]

how do I get the plans

[@fiodor8754]

tell me please measures of this :)
