Picnic Table to Go

A portable picnic table idea from FamilyFun magazine

by Kevin Ayer
carrying clip Draw a carrying clip, as shown, on one of the two pieces of wood reserved for the clips. Hand-draw the curves. Cut out the clip and use it as a template for the second clip.

USING THE CLIPS

The carrying clips allow you to easily transport the disassembled table. First, place both legs together, aligning the seat support slots. step 1Insert the bottom slot of each clip into a pair of seat support slots, with the clips oriented in the same direction. You should now have two sets of hooks upon which to hang all but the tabletop.

step 2 On the wider set of hooks, place the tabletop support (flat edge down), one seat, and one seat support, locking the seat support onto the carrying clips. On the narrower hooks, place the other seat and seat support. Now you can use the half-circle handles to carry the clipped pieces (and the football handle to carry the tabletop). Note that if you tilt the assembly, some pieces could slide out.
