Tile-Top Table
How do you build a sturdy outdoor table without any tricky mortise and tenon joinery? Using pocket screws makes it quick and easy.
Ceramic tile is normally meant for floors, but it’s also perfect for a small, outdoor table. The tile will take whatever the elements (or a drinking glass) can dish out. You may be surprised by how quickly this table comes together. The secret is that it’s made up of a half-dozen frames put together with pocket screws.

Imperial Plans
The United States Customary System of Units (USCS or USC), more commonly referred to as the English or Imperial system, is the standard set of units for our plans. It uses inches and feet for measurement. This is the one you probably want if you are in the United States, and it is the one we have traditionally offered on this website.

Metric Plans
The International System of Units (SI), more commonly referred to as the metric system, is the alternative set of units that we have available for some of our plans. It uses millimeters, centimeters, and meters for measurement. This is the one you probably want if you are outside the United States. These plans are provided by our business partner, Australian Woodsmith, and are based on the original Woodsmith plan. However, dimensions and other elements of the plan may vary between the metric and standard versions. Be sure to double-check the plan before building.


Premium Plans
All of the information that you need to build our plans can be found in the standard plan. However, if you want even more granular detail to make your job easier, you should consider our premium plans. These come with additional shop diagrams that we drew when creating the prototypes. Shop drawings are not available for every plan.
