Folding table can accompany you on a camping trip, to help receive guests at their summer cottage, become a stand at the fair, or even the counter in the store. Feature-rich and useful thing to the same is not necessarily to buy, but you can make your own hands. I offer 2 master class, how to do it.

Master-class №1: Folding table

Mobile folding table into a kind of convolution is perfect for a picnic, and for trade

Before you make a folding table with your hands, you need to get everything you need:

Materials and tools

Photo	Title
	A round barHaving the following dimensions: Length - 1200 mm; Diameter - 20 mm
	Three parquet boards 50 6 to 2000 mm; One parquet 25 6 to 2000 mm
	Four shipping bolts
	Four threaded nut inserts of brass
	Flat nylon cord
	mounting Stapler with six-millimeter clips
	Hacksaw on wood
	Sandpaper
	Drill with drill bits 6 and 7, diameters mm
	Hammer

progress of work

After preparing all the necessary start manufacturing the folding table with his hands:

Picture	Description
	saw upround bar into 4 equal parts
	Sawn hardwood boards so that the result was: 10 segments of 50 mm in width and 600 mm in length; 2 length 25 mm width and 600 mm length
	We clean the sand paper cut edges of the resulting round bar sections
	We clean the sand paper the resulting cut edges of segments floorboards
	Prepare nylon cord: cut off from it two pieces of 600 mm long; singe their edges are lighter, so as not disbanded
	Put the boards on the flat underside surface facing up, placing spacers between them of uniform thickness
	connect boards nylon cord, retreating slightly from the edges and fixing it using staples
	strengthen mount a few strokes of the hammer, if the stapler is turned weak and was unable to drive the staples to a sufficient depth
	The second segment nylon cord battened on the other side and get in the end is almost finished countertop
	drill holes in the corners of table tops 6 mm diameter
	insert the bolts in the resulting hole
	install the crossmember: Puts enshrined along the cords, the edges of the stepping countertops, boards of 25 mm in width; mark projection holes in them; drill; put on bolts
	Prepare legs: secure in the grip one of four round bars; Semimillimetrovym Drills at its end a hole depth of 25 mm; similar actions Do the remaining three bars
	install into the prepared hole brass nut paste
	Screw feet on the bolts protruding from the cross-members
	Turn over and put on legs ready to use table
	after the operation: Turn off legs; shoot cross; take out bolts screwed into them in the legs, so as not to lose; countertop turn off

I recommend the model under consideration collapsible table immediately to sew or buy a bag. Then it will not deliver the transportation problems even in the campaign.

Collapsible folding table is easily transported to the site of the picnic in the appropriate bag size

Master-class №2: Table with legs tucked

Next folding table with his hands going from being divided into two parts countertops and tuck the legs of the system, similar to that installed on camping chairs.

pros such a construction:

• High stability and strength;
• The absence of removable parts.

Minuses:

• More complex instructions manufacturing;
• Some loss of compactness. Tourist folding table, still a little wins in this regard.

Necessary materials

Tools for the most part subject to the same as in the embodiment described above, so I will not repeat. But with all the material is not the case, then you will need:

Photo	Title
	plywood: Width - 600 mm; Length - 700 mm; Thickness - 6 mm
	round bar with a cross section of 24 mm and length 32 mm
	timber 20 with a cross section 40 mm
	Screws

Instead of a sheet of plywood, you can use a ready-made countertop from the old table. In this case, the project will even cheaper.

progress of work

Consider how to make a folding table:

Picture	Description
	Making the worktop: zapilivaem corners of the plywood; round them using sandpaper; We hold the middle sheet straight line; Sawn plywood in half according to the markup
	sawn timber four blank of 460mm; round the resulting segments with one edge
	drill two bars on the edges of the depressions nezakruglonnyh; insert in which a piece of round timber
	Putting inner feet: Cut the two pieces from the same timber of 720 mm in length; round they both edges; We make gashes at a distance of 160 mm from the lower edge and another one on the opposite side of above 50 mm; insert gash in the upper bar; tie his self-tapping screws
	Putting outer feet: They should be wider than the thickness into two beams; The cross bar is mounted above the level made in the inner legs propyl
	insert inner legs to the outer
	drill hole at a height of two feet; Putting through them bolted legs
	Fasten previously harvested bars to the top of the legs, as shown in Figure
	install both halves of the table top
	Grind and varnish all details
	Testing ready picnic table

As you can see, the price of each option is for the most part only of the cost of lumber. If you find them on his farm, the tables can turn and even free of charge.
