The Sand & Water Table

[admin]

Sorry this has taken so long to get up here. I have had a group trying to hack this forum and it is driving me crazy. Please feel free to contact me via email and I will try to get you all hooked up and going if need be.
Thanks for your patience.
Here is the instructions for the table, the video link and also the list for the bigger 3 place table.

Note: These instructions based on a finished height for 2-3 years olds. It may be necessary to adjust the length of the (leg) pipes for a younger or older child.


Materials Needed:
• 3/4” PVC Pipes (purchase 5 X 5’ length pipes) (10’ pipes are cheaper but the 5’ fit in your car better.)
• 3/4” PVC Joints: 4 - 90 degree Elbows, 4 Tees, 4 Caps
• Table Saw or Miter Box Saw, or PVC Cutter
• 80 Grit Sandpaper
• Lacquer Thinner
• 11 Gallon Plastic Container with Cover
• Rubber Hammer to tap it all together. (Brooke’s Favorite)
Directions:
1. Cut the PVC pipe to lengths indicated below.
• 3/4” pipes: cut 2 - 5’ pipes into 21 1/2”, 14 1/2”, 14” and 6”
• cut 1 - 5’ pipe into 14”, 14”, 6” and 6”<
• 3/4”pipes: cut 2 - 5’ pipes into 17 3/8” and 24 1/8”

2. Sand any rough edges. Use lacquer thinner to clean the piping.
3. Put the elbows on the ends of the 14 1/2” x 3/4” pipes.
4. Lay pipes flat on the table.
5. Insert the 6” x 3/4” pipes into the elbows.
6. Position the holes upward.
7. Insert the tees on the end of the 6” x 3/4” pipes. (The unit should lay flat on the table with the tee pointing up.)
8. Set one unit aside.
9. Insert the 21 1/2” x 3/4” pipe into one tee.
10. Set the 17 3/8” x 3/4” pipes into the 1” holes drilled in the 21 1/2” x 3/4” pipe. (It may be necessary to sand the inside of the hole to get the 3/4” pipe to fit.)
11. Insert the other 21 1/2” x 3/4” pipe onto the 2 - 17 3/8” x 3/4” pipes.
12. Insert the 21 1/2” x 3/4” pipe into the open tee.
13. Insert the 24 1/8” x 3/4” pipes into the holes on the 6’ x 3/4” pipes
14. Take the pipe unit that was set aside and insert the tees and holes onto the unit on the table.
15. Turn the piping upside down, resting on the elbows.
17. Insert the 14” x 3/4” pipes into the tees making the legs of the table.
18. Put the caps on the ends of the 14” x 3/4” pipes.
19. Turn over and insert the plastic container.
As I always say, the easiest ways to build these things is look at the picture and go from there!!!
These instructions will build a simple one place table. To figure out the three place table you are going to have to watch the Studio 5 segment again, and again, and again to figure it out, or just drop me an email and I will walk you through it….

Here is the list that is needed for the 3 Place. Everything will go together just as you see it on the video link above. Let me know if you have any problems. Keep in mind that this table was built to hold specific containers. ( Sterilite 35 qt.) currently selling at smiths for $6.99 apiece. You will need to adjust the sizes if you are not using these containers.
This is all 3/4" material BTW
You will need.
20 pieces @ 19 1/4 Horizontals for front and back top and bottom.
6 Pieces @ 20 These are your cross braces running paralell to the containers. Top and bottom
4 Pieces @ 4 1/2" Small part of your cross pieces where your fountain hooks in.
6 Pieces @ 9" 2 are your large part of your cross pieces and 4 hook into your T's and your 90's at your fountain.
2 Pieces @ 18" with holes for your little fountain.
16 Pieces @ 3" for the legs where they hook into the 90's
4 4ways
20 90's
12 T's
Best thing to do is watch the video and see where the pieces fit.
Best of luck and see you again.
