Cooking table notes

Below are the notes I made for the completion of the cooking table. As an update, the “A” frame boards have been drilled for the top bar and the support poles. The support poles have been knotted and varnished. the next step will be to assemble the pieces to determine the correct angles for the bottom supports. The top pole will need to be drilled to hold the frames in place. None of this will be going on till the weather snaps. It is just to cold to work in the Garage. Time to turn to indoor crafts.
