DIY Transform a Cable Spool to Picnic Table with Benches 

Thank you so much! Not perfect at all, but having fun doing the dad thing either way. Lol

Thank you so much!!!

Thank you! Hope you enjoy yours. We have made a ton of coffee tables, kitchen tables and outdoor tables at this point. Love them all.

Thank you!

Thank you. Hope that turns out good.

Thank you! Grew up without a dad around in my life, so just trying to do better than what I had. Not close to perfect for sure. Lol Good luck on your project!

@@TheTrentTribe Sorry to hear this. It looks like your on the right path. God bless.

Awesome! Hope yours turns out great.

Thank you! Hope yours turns out great!

Awesome! We did a few and they’re all still standing. Lol

😂😂😂I say it every time we get long boards. Our son has his big truck now, with a six foot bed. Lol

Thank you. Hope yours turns out good.

Cool! It’s a fun project!

Thank you!!!

Thank you! Lots of fun on this one.

Thank you!

Thank you. Actually it is sturdy. We were surprised at how much so. The chairs can be a little wobbly if the spool you use is taller. But overall these turn out to be nice tables that should last a loooong time. Lol

You got this! Just make your circle with a pencil and take your time cutting. If you mess up, it’s character. Lol

😂That would be a nightmare. Maybe you can make one and save the shipping.

Yes. We had to get creative and use a saw zaw with a metal blade. Lol

Hey! We sold that one, so I’m not sure the measurements. But all the spools we did were all different heights, so our way of deciding height was a little crazy. 😂 We would act like we were seated at the spool without a seat and measure from our butt down to the ground. No joke! Then we would base our 2x4 lengths on that. Complicated system right? 😂😂😂

I don’t. Sorry. Mainly because each table that we’ve done (which has been a dozen or more) has different lengths and angles. The angles are tough to get, unless you’re a geometry wiz, which we are not. Lol

Thank you. I think we got $300 for those. Probably could have gotten more, but he was making money to save for a truck.

That's fantastic! I'm thinking in same project for my kids thats why I asked.

@@mgarciber1 we put them on Facebook marketplace. Several sold quickly, but they eventually died. We run it as long as we could. Good luck with it.

I think that was the size of this one. We’ve done several of various sizes. All of them are basically the same. Hope yours turns out well.

@@TheTrentTribe awesome! I’m a lineman by trade and have always wanted to build something, do you have any issues with being top heavy?

@@cheynejones9536 that’s awesome! Our son-in-law is a lineman as well. Great career choice!!! We do not have any issues with it being top heavy, but I can see where it looks like you would.

We can’t remember what angle that was now. I’m sorry. Those angles (for us at least) was trial error. Lol We took a scrap piece and tested it out. Went through a few before we got the right one. It all depends on the height of the benches. So basically each one we’ve made have been a little different.

@@TheTrentTribe no problem! I'm halfway on my project, need the legs, ill do a little trial and error too haha, im using your video as reference. 👍

@@FranciscoJavierOutdoors awesome! Hope you enjoy yours. We’ve made a bunch of different sizes. Sold a good many as well.
