Build a Hydro Table

This is a 4' x 8' table which allows a lot of space to work on.

                                            Materials:                                                                          

                                   

1- 4' x8' sheet of 3/8" plywood, 3 - 8' pieces of 2" x 6" Douglas Fir, 2 - 6' long 4" x 4" posts, 2 dozen 3" deck screws, and 2 dozen 1 1/4" deck screws.  A rubber pond liner about 20 ml thickness 5' wide x 8' long.

 

                                       Cutting:                                                                          

                                                                     

Cut one of the 2" x 6" Douglas Fir in half leaving 2 pieces 4' long and cut the other 8' pieces to 93" long.

Cut the 6' pieces of 4" x 4" in half so that there is now 4 - 3' posts.

Assembly:                                  

Use the 2 - 2" x 6" x 4' long pieces as ends and the 2 - 2" x 6" x 93" long pieces sides. Assemble w/o the screws first and measure the outline so that it measures 4' wide x 8' long. Then screw the ends together w/ the 3" screws. Now place the 3' posts tight against the ends and sides in the  4 corners and screw the sides and ends to the posts. Flip the assembly over so that the posts are now the legs. Put the plywood on top of the assembly  and screw the plywood edges to the sides and ends so it becomes a table top.

   Waterproof:                               

Put the pond liner on the top so that it overhangs 6" all the way around.
