I love to sit out on the balcony and have a good cup of coffee and some breakfast. So, of course so does my little one. That is why I decided to build an outdoor dining set just for her.

Grab some lumber, tools, wood filler, stain, and a few other supplies to build your own.

To begin make your cuts, and drill pocket holes into the wood cuts.

Next build the table top. Use clamps to help hold the lumber in place while the wood glue dries.

Now you can build the base. Clamps really help guide the wood into place; so I would suggest having them handy.

After the base is finished, it's time to put it all together. Attach the table top firmly to the base.

Fill the pocket holes with wood filler, sand, and finish with your favorite stain.
