How do I get the zip to open? When I downloaded and then tried to open, it was blank. Please tell me what I’m not doing right.
Thanks in advance!

Can’t tell you what you’re doing wrong. The SVG is in the ZIP file. ZIP should be 2,235 bytes, SVG expands out to 18,316 bytes.

Did the same thing to me. It “appeared” to be blank. I opened the file in Inkscape and changed the stroke settings to 0.100 and it showed up.

Sorry for the confusion. Please try this version with the line width set to 0.1mm.

What thickness are you using to get the correct fitment? I must be using the wrong wood thickness. It is not very snugged

Welcome to the community! It looks like the author used Proofgrade Draftboard. The design is scaled to the PG thickness (which escaped me for the moment, but it’s nominal 0.125"). If you are using a different material and/or thickness, you will have to make adjustments to the pattern

I made one from Light Cherry Proofgrade plywood (it’s thinner so I had to use glue). It came out great and the wildlife on our deck are big fans, as long as you load it with peanuts.

thanks for sharing those photos. That is such a cute setup! Plus, I live on the west coast now, and it’s nice to see cardinals and blue jay again.

Cool!
Imagine, if you set up the background right it would look like a normal picnic table visited by chipmunks the size of grizzly bears!

I made one to go with a wedding gift. the couple were getting married at an old sawmill and the reception was on picnic tables. I put their initials on the table top.

Sorry for the very late reply. I am trying to simulate the correct proportions of 2x6 lumber, which is 1.5” thick, about 12 times the thickness of drafboard, and I simply rounded it to 1:10 scale.

That makes sense!
