- Stud, wing nuts, M8 washers
- A long nail.

Manufacturing process.
So, for starters, the master cut out two blanks from sheet plywood with dimensions of 620 X 150 mm. Then he applied a layer of glue, and pulled the blanks together with clamps. This is necessary to increase the thickness.




Then the author drew a drawing of the rack for the table.


Drilled an inlet for a jigsaw blade.

He fixed the workpiece on a workbench, and cut it out with an electric jigsaw.



The burrs are cleaned with sandpaper, and the corners are machined on a grinder.


Now all faces are machined by a radius mill with a thrust bearing.



Here's a blank for the rack turned out.


The next step, the master marks the future countertop.



Saws the workpiece according to the drawing, and processes the faces with a milling cutter.



After polishing with an orbital machine, the countertop looks like this.


In the center, from the bottom of the countertop, the master glues a pair of blanks for the hinge.



All parts are ready to be coated with protective impregnation for wood. It is advisable to apply a layer of varnish or wax on top.




Installs the rack in a swivel, and drills a hole for the clamping device.



The clamp itself is assembled from an M8 stud, a pair of washers and wing nuts.



The author will use such a nail as a pin. He needs to trim the hat.

Drills a hole in the bottom of the rack, and hammer a nail into it.



Here's a table.


And now some field trials. In the trunk, the table fits without problems, without even disconnecting the rack. Quickly installs and opens.The master made the table in a small children's version, but it would not be difficult to increase the size of the table for his tasks. The only thing that will need to be changed in a large version is to replace the pin with an aluminum corner. And in the "children's" version, the corner will be more reliable to hold the table in the ground.





In a recent article, the master made folding chair. He is very suitable for such a table.

Thanks to the author for the simple idea of ​​a very interesting folding table!


All good mood, good luck, and interesting ideas!

The third. Of course! Preferably Madeira. But this is a children's table ...
The first one. Fixation only at the expense of a lamb - maybe, but I would leave an angle on the leg on one side as an emphasis.
The second one. The eyes only on glue - will fall off, make the lamb.
The third. Replace the bottle!
