Wooden Spool to Oversized Outdoor Coffee Table

I have had this 6.5' wooden spool round in my garage for a couple of years waiting for me to get around to this project. As I'm cleaning up the shop I decided it was time to make my oversized outdoor coffee table!
The legs are really simple to make. You'll need 2 8' 4x4s for the crosspieces and legs, 8 large screws (6") and a couple of bolts (8") with washers and nuts. You'll definitely want to predrill your holes.
A couple of Simpson 4x4 brackets to hold the legs to the top and you're done! This summer I will get the chairs and umbrella sorted out but as you can see the weather right now is still pretty snow/rain so I'll stick to the indoor project mostly for the next few months.
