Folding Table Base
By Richard Ayers
‘Want a mobile table base that provides a huge work area, holds aton and folds up to only 7 in
thick? You can get everything you need to make the one shown here at the local home canter ior
about S65. Build it to any size. Just make sure the folding support arms (E) and panels (F) ft
inside the end frames, so the assembled table folds up completely. Screw on a top when you
nead a work surface and remove it when you're ready to stow the table. Hook-and-eye catches
hold the folding supports open when the table is in use and keep it closed during storage
