Introduction
This fire table is a lot of fun to make since it requires a wide range of abilities, including woodworking, masonry, metalwork, and a little mechanical work. It does necessitate a few more specialized tools, but you could easily spend a couple of thousand dollars on one if you shop fire pit table visit Go Fire Pit. This project was done with simple hand tools and a miter saw, table saw, and trim gun. You could use a circular saw to make all of the cuts and a hammer to fasten and trim the panels, but it would take a lot longer, and the finished result would be less polished. A drill, a concrete trowel, large wire cutters or small bolt cutters, and a wheelbarrow or mixing tub are also required.

The burner kit is required to build a propane fire pit.
Finding a gas burner is the first step in making a propane fire pit. On a 20-pound propane tank, the burner will last six to twelve hours. The fire it creates will warm your hands and relieve the chill, but it won't keep you warm on a chilly night as a campfire would. The propane tank is hidden beneath the table, but if you like, you can bury a line and connect it to your home's natural gas. This project is unique in that it is essentially a table with a fire pit in the center.
Taper the feet when building a table.
Begin by constructing the base for your propane fire pit, which will house the burner. When making a table, use a miter saw to trim the posts (A) to length (see Cutting List). With a miter saw, taper the bottom edges up about 1/2 inch. When the table is slid around, the tapered edges won't tear out, and they'll appear more excellent when it's sitting on uneven ground.
Assemble the frames by cutting and glueing them together.
To make six 4-footers, cut three 8-foot 2x4s in half. Five of the six should be ripped down into 1-1/2-in. × 1-1/2-in. Boards. The remaining frame components (C and D) are made from the entire 2x4s.
Two 2-1/2-in. Screws secure the frame sides to the tops and bottoms. One screw on each side connects the smaller front frame bottom. Before you insert the screws, drill 1/8-inch holes through the frame sides.
Connect the side frames to the posts with screws
Drill three holes through the side frames on each side. Place the frames on your work surface flat. Make sure the frames and posts are flush at the top and use three 2-1/2-in—screws to secure the frames to the posts.
Glue the front and back frames together.
Turn the side frames and posts over. Connect the inside corners of the front and back frames to the inside corners of the posts using three 2-1/2-in—screws driven through predrilled holes.
