Instructions
NOTE: The instructions below are only part of the full downloadable plan-set that can be purchased here. These instructions are to see if the project is within your level of expertise prior to purchasing the plan-set.

The full plan-set is in PDF downloadable file and contains detailed plans and drawings and dimensions of every piece of lumber that is required.

The plan-set costs $5.00 USD and can be purchased with most major credit cards and instantly downloaded onto your computer. For more info or to purchase click here.

6.  fix the table and seat members to the folding table Add the table and seat members
First fix the seat members [k] and [l] to the appropriate seat supports [k] and [l] ensuring frame is square, level and plumb.
The placement of the seats along support members is crucial. Study the dimensions shown in fig 2.a (in the downloadable plans).
Because the placement of this seat is important, it is advisable to hold it in place with only one screw each end of each member, until the folding motion has been tried as a slight adjustment may be required.
Next screw the tabletop in place. Ensure it starts 10mm (3/8") in from the rear of the tabletop support, horizontal member [g]. See fig 2.c (in the downloadable plans). Also ensure that the overhang at each end of the table side frames are equal.

All seat and tabletop members should be pre-drilled and screwed with two screws at each meeting.

7.  brace the seat legs Brace the rear seat
Turn the table upside down and prop or sit the rear seat on something solid. Ensure that the seat side frame and the seat are at right angles to each other and fix the braces in place. Just like in the picture.

Flip the folding table up the right way and see how it works. Make any necessary adjustments as described in the paragraph at the end of the plan section.
