When general contractor Tom Silva wanted to replicate an outdoor end table made from teak, host Kevin O’Connor wanted to be part of the process. Here’s how to build it. Bisect the angle needed using scrap pieces of wood [https://homedepot.sjv.io/EEbM5n] to create the angle and length needed for the frame. Transfer the scrap pieces of wood to the raw teak frame pieces [https://homedepot.sjv.io/BnEvD4] to use as guide on the chop saw [https://homedepot.sjv.io/R5dodR]. Cut a groove using a router bit [https://homedepot.sjv.io/BnE700] to allow the slated pieces to be flush with the top. Use a wood screw [https://homedepot.sjv.io/7aezeO] to temporarily fix the two side pieces together. To create the slates for the face of the top trace [https://homedepot.sjv.io/DKWJ3o] the inner triangle of the two sides on a piece of teak. Use a combination square [homedepot.sjv.io/WqKRXG] to measure the depth of the groove. Line up the square with the traced line and mark on both sides of the traced triangle. Use an equal space divider [https://homedepot.sjv.io/3ermkr] to mark the inner triangle with guidelines to cut the slats.
