Squirrel/Bird Sitting & Hanging Picnic Table Laser Cut File for 1/2 inch wood.
This is a DIGITAL FILE for Squirrel/Bird Sitting & Hanging Picnic Tables, not a physical product.
The size of the finished sitting tables are about 8.3" Wide x 8" long and 4.5" tall for the regular sitting table, with the walled feeder holder tables being 5" tall.
The size of the finished hanging tables are about 8.3" Wide x 7.5" long and 5.5" tall.
The depth of the walled tables are 0.5".
Included in the files are 4 different designs for small picnic tables:
A sitting and hanging design with a regular flat top.
A sitting and hanging design with a walled tabled top for holding nuts or seeds.
The tables made in the pictures are made from cedar, with the sitting tables being made from 0.50" cedar and the hanging ones being made from 0.47" cedar.
All the tables are designed to be able to be made from 6' by 6" cedar pickets, which is what I used after planing them down to the correct thickness and getting rid of the roughness. If I don't have any issues cutting I can get two tables per picket. Or you could use plywood as well.
Doing some testing, I was able to put 9.6 lbs of weight on the hanging table with only a small about of bending, only using Titebond wood glue. (the last picture)
