Sorry for using the wrong name Dustin, I guess I was reading Ken Darga's comment and thought that was your name.

Yes the entire top I used kreg jig at all the corners of the octagon it's actually very simple :)

Thanks, I'll see what I can find or design my own maybe.  I was actually wondering  what parts of your table were done with pocket screws.  Since this is a Kreg site I assume the projects submitted have used the Kreg jigs.  Picnic tables around my place take a lot of abuse being dragged around the yard to different locations and I was wondering if there was a way to use pocket screws and still  offset the racking forces when being moved around and sat on.   Most of the tables I've seen or built, used heavy lag screws or thru bolts.   Did you use the heavy duty screws/pockets?

Nice Ken.  I need to replace my old picnic table, this would be a great replacement, care to share the details or location of the plan?
