THE WOOD POST 54 Summer 2006

feature project

Instructions:

General:

Cut all parts as you assemble the project, using the Cut

List as a guide and adjusting as needed for fit. Attach all parts with

glue and 6d finishing nails unless otherwise specified.

Step 1:

Build the skirt assemblies. Note that you will construct

two assemblies from the two halves of the table. Refer to Figure 1

for placement.

a. Cut the side skirts, end skirts, and center braces, and label the

pieces for reference.

b. Following the positioning and measurements shown in the side

skirt layout in Figure 1, drill holes in the side skirts for the locking

pins and leg assembly attachment.

c. Attach one end skirt to the end faces of a pair of side skirts;

repeat for the other half of the table.

Attach two center braces to the opposite end faces of the side

skirts; repeat.

Check both assemblies for square by measuring diagonally, and

attach temporary braces to maintain the square angles.

Clamp and glue the center spacer to the outside bottom edge

of one of the center braces.

Multiuse

Table

This project can play many roles in your outdoor

and indoor entertaining activities.

Step 2:

Build the legs, and install the stiffeners.

Attach two upper legs flush together, and then drill a

⁄8-inch hole

and a

⁄4-inch hole through both pieces as shown; finish cutting per

the upper leg detail. Repeat for the remaining upper legs.

Clamp the upper legs to a work surface. Using a router with a

⁄4-inch straight bit, rout a

⁄4-inch slot into each (see the upper leg

detail in Figure 2).

Clamp the lower legs to a work surface. Using a router with a

⁄4-inch straight bit, rout a

⁄4-inch slot into each (see the lower leg

detail in Figure 2). Also drill a

⁄4-inch hole and cut a notch in each,

as shown in the detail.

Sand, and finish as desired prior to assembling the leg pieces.

Apply self-adhesive sandpaper to the inside face of each upper

leg assembly (see Figure 2, upper leg detail). Note: The sandpaper

will help grip the lower leg in any position (especially when extended).

Attach lower legs to upper legs using hex bolts, fender washers,

and bar knobs as shown in Figure 2.

Attach upper legs to side skirts using hex bolts, flat washers,

flat nylon washers, and crown hex nuts as shown in Figure 2.

Clamp a framing square onto a leg assembly to hold it square

with its side skirt. Then, using the

⁄4-inch hole in the side skirt as a

guide, drill a

⁄4-inch hole through the upper leg for the locking pin.

Repeat with remaining leg assemblies.

Temporarily thread a brass wing nut onto the locking pin to

secure the legs in the folded-down position. Note: The locking bolt

will secure the leg assembly when the table is closed for storage.

Use a

⁄16-inch nylon washer as a spacer between the outer faces

of a pair of upper legs and the inner face of the first stiffener, with

the stiffener resting on the shoulder of the legs (see Figure 3).

Attach the stiffener to the side skirts.

Attach a second stiffener to each side skirt and the face of the

first stiffener so that the bottom edges of the stiffeners are flush.

Repeat Steps 2j–2l for the second leg assembly.

Attach the leg spacers to the lower legs at the locations shown

in the lower leg detail in Figure 2.

Step 3:

Complete the top assembly, and add hardware. Note:

See Figure 3 for placement.

Cut the top panels per the Cut List.

Scribe the long and short nosings, and miter cut to fit. Attach

the nosings per Figure 3.

Attach the top panels to the skirt/leg assembly, centering from

side to side and aligning the edge of the top panel with the edge of

the center braces.

Attach the two halves of the table using a piano hinge (refer to

Figure 3, piano hinge/sash lock detail).

Attach the three sash locks under the tabletop, spacing them

equidistant from each other. Be sure to place them proportionally

for maximum stability. The sash locks will secure the tabletop in its

extended position.

Step 4:

Apply a finish.

Fill all nail holes, sand, and finish as desired. See the photo-

graphs on page 6 if you plan to stain your project. For our painted

version of the table, we used American Tradition, Homecoming

Blue #4009-9, semi-gloss).

Project #SU061 I

sturdy and adjustable

table is a must-have

for tailgating, outdoor

meals at home, or summertime

events such as open-air concerts.

Our activity table offers needed

flexibility for all these functions—

and more—with its adjustable

legs and a collapsible center. It

also makes a terrific auxiliary

dining or gaming table for folks

with limited space. Simply tuck

in the legs, fold the table in half,

and store it away when not in

use. You can finish the project with your favorite team’s colors for

tailgating, or substitute oak for poplar and apply a stain for a more

polished look.
