Fold-out table

Get the extra table area you need to entertain

do you do with it when it’s not needed? Our fold-out table

gives a 1465 x 850mm table area, but folds down to use only about

300 x 850mm floor space, small enough to store in a hallway.

Here’s how

1 Measure legs (A), mark the cuts

with a square and cut with a fine-

toothed tenon saw. On one face

of each leg mark 10mm from top

and 150mm from the bottom. Find

the centre and set the dowelling

jig to these marks using the

10mm sleeve. Place tape around

a 10mm bit to drill to a depth of

25mm. Drill through the sleeve of

the dowelling jig.

2 Keep legs in pairs. Starting with

their holes facing up, turn each leg

in so drilled holes face each other.

Mark the same distances from the

ends, but for the bottom hole only

measure 10mm from the inside

edge. Use dowelling jig to drill

holes. Repeat for other legs.

3 Cut the short rails (B) and set

the dowelling jig to drill holes in

the centre of each end. Drill the

holes. Put a little PVA glue into the

holes of the face without the offset

hole, insert 10mm dowels and tap

on the short rails. The top rail is

installed flat and the bottom rail is

on edge. Add the other leg; clamp

together until the glue dries.

4 Prepare the long rails (C) in the

same way and dowel the two end

assemblies together. Back of the

bottom rail must be flush with the

inside edge of the leg, leaving

room for the gate-leg.

5 For gate-legs, cut uprights and

rails (D, E) to length. From the

bottom of the long upright mark

130mm for the lower edge of the

bottom rail and 16mm from the

top for the upper edge of the top

rail. This allows for 1mm clearance

under top rail and gives 4mm

clearance for the piano hinge.

Hold together and mark centre of

all joints; use dowelling jig to drill

holes. Join with dowels and glue.

Screw to frame using 50mm flush

hinges (K) spaced 70mm from the

top and bottom of short uprights.

6 Close the gate-legs to mark

the position of two notches to be

cut in the top rails of the table

to house the leg. Allow a little

clearance, then saw and chisel

out neatly to a depth of 19mm.

7 On the underside of a sheet of

plywood, measure the tabletop (F)

and use a circular saw with fine

All joints are glued and dowelled unless otherwise indicated. Check

components against actual unit as it is being built. We used ordinary

furniture grade plywood. For neat and accurate dowelled joints it’s

worthwhile investing in a dowelling jig (from about $40).

tooth blade to cut. The tabletop width

lets the flaps hang clear of the

hinges and supports when folded

down. Run the saw along a straight

timber batten spaced and clamped

to allow for the distance between the

saw blade and edge of the base

plate of saw. While on the underside,

set the saw to cut a 4 x 15mm deep

rebate for piano hinge. Use a batten

to guide the saw, or use a router or

table saw. Cut two flaps (G) in the

same way but without rebates.

8 Cut piano hinge (H) to length with

a hacksaw. Lay the flap with the face

side down and the tabletop with face

side up, aligning edges. Mark screw

holes from the piano hinge, pre-drill

and screw the hinge to the edges.

9 Lay the tabletop and flaps face

down on the bench, centre the table

legs in both directions and screw the

frame to the tabletop.

10 Swing gate-legs out to where

they are 50mm from the edge of

the flap. Mark this spot along the

underside of the flap. Cut the support

stops (I) according to the dimensions

in the diagram; screw in place. Check

the angled section faces the outside

of the flap and clears the bottom

rail when the table is folded down.

Adjust the position if necessary. As

the support upright is 4mm short to

clear the piano hinge, add a spacer

(J) in front of the stop. The leading

edge of this spacer is sanded to a

bevel so support does not catch.

11 Sand unit carefully. Use several

coats of Danish Oil to finish.
