How can you say the cost was so low considering all the equipment needed, which is so much more than the average home owns? Also, all 4x4's sold around here are pressure treated except for cedar. The least expensive 4x4 cost about $15 each.

Hey Judy! This post was written several years ago now and yes, it only cost me 120 bucks at the time, unfortunately even for me lumber has gone through the roof recently! I have untreated 4x4s at both my local Home Depot and Lowe's always stocked, but that varies from place to place and store to store, they should easily be able to order them for you if they don't have them in store. Its crazy, in March of this year, I priced out fencing material for our backyard fence, treated 4x4s were 11.00 here and when I went to actually make the purchase for my fencing materials in May, they were 18 dollars each! 😳Untreated are still only 12 dollars but considering when I built this table they were only 8.89 it's still a big increase! And, I don't own the equipment I was using either, I went to my Dad's shop to use his equipment! A friend of mine uses a local woodshop, they open on certain days to the public to use their fancy tools for a small fee! All in all though you could build this table without any fancy equipment as well, the only item not found in most home garage shops is a planer... but you can run the 4x4s through a table saw to get the edges straight instead. I have done that on many projects because sometimes hauling all my lumber somewhere else isn't that practical! Lol! Sorry if it seems misleading, but I don't really know how else to give a cost other than what I paid, and I can't possibly update every post every time lumber goes up! 🥰 Thanks for checking out my project! Have a good one!
