Materials:
Work on the table:
- To do a folding wooden table with our own hands, we begin by nailing the template with thin nails to the board. This is a template for table details.
- We cut out jigsaw pieces from the board.
- We process the workpiece with a milling cutter.
- There were two identical parts.
- For the legs of the table we take longer boards, on which we make markings of two future holes.
- On the part that will be the wing of the table, we plan one hole.
- Drill the holes according to the markings.
- To fix the axis in one of the blanks, we make a hole and hammer the chop into it.
- We put on the second part and cut off the extra part of the axis.
- The second side is collected in a similar way.
- As a result, the extreme legs of the table turned out.
- For the inner legs we prepare a longer cylinder with an opening at the end. We put on the wing first, and then the long leg. So that it does not fall out, we fix it with a chop.
- At the end of the board we make different holes.
- In work we use couplings that have external and internal threads. The outer one is attached to the board, and the screw is screwed into the inner board.
- We twist the couplings into the wood.
- We take blanks with three holes. Two of them are designed for chop, and the middle for the clutch.
- We screw in the middle hole connecting screw.
- These boards are simultaneously stiffeners.
- Similarly, we attach the second end of the board, connecting both parts of the table.
- We fasten the countertop to the chopiki.
- We fasten it with metal screws.
- As a result, from the parquet board we have a folding table made by our own hands, which occupies very little space when folded.
We use a round stick for articulating the legs and the wing.
