Dinner Seating for Eight on the Fly

Short and simple. Thats the way I like projects to be. They rarely go that way but this one did.

It started with "Lets do it this Saturday"...uttered during coffee hour at church Sunday before last. Our church has been doing small group potluck dinners. It was our turn to host our group and we said "sure"...oh yeah, where are we going to put them? What are they going to eat off of? We have a small table for 4 and 12 were on the way.

Well it turns out that this table is incredibly easy to make:
1 Piece of 30" wide plywood 8' long.
4 2x4s
1 piece of hardy pressboard 30"wide and 8' long.

Here is what the frame looked like...mostly scrap wood went into this one and it took just an hour to put together.
