I basically stuck to the plans, but I shortened the length of the table just a touch, and lengthened the bench to fit just inside the legs. I also used 2x4s for the legs, tapered them for aesthetics (similar to some other posters), and reinforced them with "L" brackets to reduce the wobble. We finished it with Semigloss white paint, Minwax Honey stain, and Minwax Gloss Polyurethane.
If I can make this table, just about anyone can.

Tapered Legs
Your table is beautiful!
Do you remember how you tapered your legs? I'm trying to figure out if I can do it without a table saw.
Thank you!
