Folding portable table - the best option for home, cottage or outdoor recreation. Moreover, this table option can also be used as a workbench.
In this review, the master shares the idea of how to make a folding table-suitcase of wood with your own hands. The design of the table is quite simple, and the table itself is easy to fold and transport.
The author uses a sheet of plywood as a countertop, but if you wish, you can also glue a wooden board (although in this case the table will turn out to be heavier).
Cut a piece of plywood to size. You also need to prepare four pieces of the board, which are attached along the edges of the countertop.
The main stages of work
The next step is to saw off another four pieces of the board - the legs of the table. Fasten the legs at the corners of the countertop to the bolts, as they must be folded and unfolded.
For greater stability of the table to the lower part of the legs, the master screws a piece of the board. Before twisting the screws, it is necessary to drill holes in the legs.
Just above the support “sole” of the legs, the master screws one more piece of the board, having previously cut a “step” into them.
The lower shelf of the table will rest on them, and at the same time, the wall of the suitcase. It is made, like the countertop, of plywood. This shelf also bursts the table legs when they are unfolded.
In the folded state, the legs are placed inside the frame, and then the side wall is screwed onto the bolts, and a "suitcase" is obtained.
At the last stage, it remains only to screw the handle for easy transportation of the table. It can be from any material: metal, wood, plastic.
