Piper's Folding Table

The table, modelled in Sketchup.

My friend, Travis Piper, showed me this table he has had since he was a kid; it's thought to be from the 1930s. It's very unique the way it folds up when picked up in the middle. I really like the design, shaker-esque in nature. I modeled it in Sketchup. My only change was to the skirt, adding an arch, instead of the mild scallopy profile that is on the original. My rendering's metal support rails are a bit too slivery; I think I would make them a flat black, if I were to make a reproduction.

Looks like a great concept. Have you found hardware available?

No, but making it wouldn't be all that hard. :)

Like the construction. Do you perhaps have a few mesurements on the table?
