This DIY outdoor dining table with built-in cooler was made from giant cedar 6×6 beams during my trip to Joshua Tree, CA. The material for this build is definitely not on the cheap side, but you could substitute pine 4×4’s for a similar look and a really cool wood dining table. Like I mentioned in how to build instructions, I would definitely recommend drilling smaller holes to join tabletop together. I think ⅞” holes and a ¾” all thread would be a great combination for a really stout outdoor table as long as you put the washers in to allow for drainage. If you wanted a seamless top you could remove the washers and cut or joint off the rounded edges for a smooth beefy top.

giant table for dinosaur family?
Two screws in the legs doesn’t seem like enough to prevent them from rotating around the threaded rod. Did you find that the wobbled at all?
this looks great i’m making a table like this but with out the sink. And its with some old wood i found in a barn for the old man. but i’m lost on what to do to not make it sag in the middle, any suggestions?
Nice big chunky table. Really like the ice box idea, you could develop that for other uses in the middle. Well done!!
How heavy was this table after all?
I’m thinking the bottles tops were loosened. Except for Ben’s. btw talk about a squad! You need to recreate the dog picture with you all!
Really 6×6 cedar table top. Over kill and a waste of money, if if they are left over
What’s the total height of the table ?

I am looking at a ‘weight bearing’ table to take on about 400 kg – would this table be able to handle it? or is it more decorative?
Thanks
Setting out to build a table out of 1000 pounds of beautiful wood with the sole purpose of placing a beer cooler makes it very clear the level of decomposition that has been reached as human beings.
When you need your table to survive a nuclear bomb. What a build!
Suggestion: a heavy duty caster wheel under each leg.
Wouldn’t a vertical lap joint have worked better for the legs?
Hey man i found that using a impact drill works better with that auger bit u r using, and its a lot safer for ur wrists
Awesome build, would love to have seen the ice chest to be recessed into the table though.
– Beautiful piece that’s sure to become an heirloom for generations.
And how do you clean the cooler out? By turning the table upside? 🙂
I built something like this with 4x4s and an old kitchen sink for the basin
I’m building a table from sleepers, (250mm / 125mm / 2.4m), I’ve already cut the sleepers so they are now (250mm / 65mm / 2.4m), do you have any suggestions on how to drill holes through all sleepers so they are perfectly aligned? I have 12mm stainless 1m long bolts to put through 4 sleepers to give with of just over 1m with washers to go between each sleeper. Thank you.
Cool table but biting off already open beers ruined the video for me.
What was the height of the tabletop?
😱😱😱😱😱😩😩😩😩😩👎👎👎👎👎
Not really used yet but built very good
This is awesome and exactly what I’m going to build! Instead of 6x6s I’m going to use 4x4s to cut weight.
Any suggestions or anything you’d do differently looking back on this build? Thanks!
For an engineer you’re pretty sloppy?😂
Hello! Great table. I’m planning one out myself. What height did you make it and did you have leg clearance issues given it’s 6” thick and chairs are around 18” floor to seat? Please let me know, thank you!!
I am 53 and had to show the young cats how to use post hole digger. Well, 8 fence post later I was down from my desk job a week.
This is almost as thick as some of the workbenches I see people building these days! Lol
Me: in possesion of a hammer, handsaw and some crooked nails
😳
I love it!!!
I dont have any drill press or nearby. I find this so useful in my very raw wood working activities. Thanks for this very relevant video.
Make sure when you use the belt sander it is moving in different places otherwise you’ll end up with a big dip also it’s great to do circles
Nice to see you work with normal diy tools. Not the fancy stuff . Thanks
Gotta buy some 12inch auger bits 👌🏼 that’s what I use. Also get some drills with a brake they won’t twist your arm off
Legendary!
Great table. I like it a lot. Drink holder is a terrific idea. Thanks for sharing video.
If were to buy a table like this, how much would I be charged?
is this possible to do without the cooler?
That is a beast of a table! Solid work Brad
legit question can i request a table that you can make for me? you’re work its amazing i have been watching all you’re videos you make better furniture than all of this companies!
thats awesome looking, id love to see a matching chair to go with it for my backyard
👍👍✌️🔨
The table is cool. But jesus you could have made that with smaller wood. That looked ridiculously heavy
The very last part of the video is definitely the best! You know, I’m talking about the cold bottles!👍🏻👏🏻
Hi there , i will come to your shop for 4 – 5 months intern. will you provide it for me, to learn some inputs from you.please respond me.if you feel ok
If there’s an earthquake get under that table!
Wow, you hogged up all that wood for an outdoor table! If it were inside, at least it would be earthquake protection! 🙂
Looks incredible, came out so great! Are those huge cedar posts easy to find out there? Inspiring to watch, thanks for posting!
Brad I see you made this project at your job location in Joshua Tree…. where is your home base? Are you located in Southern California?
