My little sawhorse cedar planked patio table proved to be a true winner for my small patio that needed to do it all. Let's break this little cutie down and give you the full meal deal tour.

My curbside sawhorses I found only a week ago got a home pretty quick! Cutting down the legs to coffee table height was the first step.
I don't generally coat out old beat up wood with paint but this time I went for it. I was after a 'pretty' junk table after all. :)
I had some cedar planks that were reinforced with thinner slats of wood. I wanted this tabletop removable and as lightweight as possible.
Now the height of the sawhorses worked perfectly for a coffee table, but I also desired to raise this table height upon will for eating. A simple framework did the trick. (more bracing is coming... I ran out of time)
Hey... this contraption may work yet! Did it?
Yup! Worked perfectly! So wanna see a real neat trick next?
It collapses down to nearly nothing making way for the residential propane firepit gathering. And it's light enough to cart out to the yard as well.
The new little table all decked out is not only cool, it's pretty, dually functional and a little bit junky too. :)

My patio is small, but I was bound and determined to come up with a way to combine a lounge AND eating area.
So I threw a buncha junk together and came up with a table that served three purposes... a footrest, coffee table and dining table.
Oh. And it's collapsable to make room for the firepit too. :)
