My dining room table is getting quite small for my growing family. For quite some time I have had some ideas in the back of my head. The wife and I know what we want out of it. Comfertable, roomy, a place for the kid's to spread out and do there homework, a gathering place for games, room for company, Inexpensive, funtional, informal,DIY...A nice winter project!<br /><br />I know where the lumber is that I can use to do it and today I stopped to talk to them about it...They said take all ya want for free, right in my price range I will be by early next week to pick it up!<br /><br />So this afternoon I decide to do some internet searching on my concept to see if I could come up with any additional good ideas.<br /><br />And this is what I found out...<br />.<br />.<br />.<br />.<br />.<br />.<br />.<br />.<br />.<br />.<br />.<br />.<br />I May Be A Redneck!...No I couldn't find any good tips or free plan's. Because I did not have the time to sort through all the redneck referances relating to my choice to use an empty caple spool as the top for my new dinner table.<br /><br />Now some of you undoubtdly figure at this point that I must be joking! I am dead serious...I seen one once that was routered with a pattern and inlaid with rope and finished real nice...I liked it, and more importantly so did my wife!<br /><br />So as I forge ahead with my plan's to convert this cable reel into a dining room table I must face the fact this is my official notification to the world....We are a redneck family!!
