The table is almost 8 ft long and 42 inches across. It is also 2 3/4 inches thick. I had to put it in my barbeque area with the tractor and straps.

great looking surfacing jig using the router looks very effective
Thanks. It is a router sled made to flatten large pieces of wood. Got the idea from you tube. Made this one from angle iron.

I was wondering if you had a planner to do the boards before putting together.
So you saying you used the router to do that?

Yep the router sits in that sled and you run it with a planer bit in it. You cut about an inch at a time and then move it to the next spot. if you look at the picture real close you can see some faint lines from running the router back and forth to get it flat.

Learn something every day. Did not know you could plan boards like that with a router.
I took that picture with the level sitting on it to demonstrate just how flat you can get it. Of course the frame and the sled have to be flat in order that to happen. When done planing the bottom side nice and flat then flip it over and do the top.
