Here's a spur of the moment project I decided to do. I wanted a folding table for my gaming room (which isn't a large room) that would fold up and out of the way. At the same time, I also wanted to be able to hide a bunch of folding chairs inside it so they'd be out of site out of mind. So I went and bought some wood and got started! There's a folding leaf on each side that will hang down when put away. The end result will be a 3 1/2 by 5 1/2 foot table which is big enough for any game we play (realm of battle boards would overhang slightly).
It's just for gaming so I didn't go out and get super fancy wood. Just knotty pine and the 'box' is mdf. I'll cover it with some oak veneered plywood though. I put the plans together (and redid them a few times) and think it will work. These two pictures show proof of concept. I'm going to paint it before I add the table top though for ease of access.
The Plans! |
I love watching projects like this come together! If only I had your woodworking skills. Keep up the great posts.
ReplyDeleteHahaha that's the best compliment but very misplaced. I have a tape measure, some 2x4s and a circular saw. Nothing fancy, and it wobbles a bit. I'll need to sand the legs. For the cost of a few 2x4s you could experiment easily!
DeleteI always look with envy at others gaming tables. Looking forward to see how this one comes out!
ReplyDeleteProbably not as nice as what you have in mind haha.
