Default [Woodworking] A picnic table for squirrels

12" x12" x8" high - so it'll fit into a large flat rate USPS box.

squirrels are about 9-11" tall, so the table is 4" above the "seat". gotta use good ergonomics.

That's because he's a moderator. Most of them work undercover.

I have a similar talent! I buy large pieces of lumber from Home Depot, and keep cutting the boards to incorrect lengths, but finding other uses for the shorter miscut pieces, but then I miscut them too. The process goes on until I have a medium sized pile of sawdust, and a large pile of chopped up waste wood. Then, I go back to Home Depot and buy more big pieces!

I know its not exactly glamorous, but a man needs a hobby!
