Little folding dining table

This is another piece for my sister’s tiny house. The table is designed to fold away when not in use and has solid brass hardware including the locking pins I forged at a friend’s shop.

When we were looking at salvaged planks at the architectural salvage yard my sister found this small, unidentifiable, and very broken paneled piece and asked me to make it into a table. The entire thing was manure brown and had fallen apart. It was not symmetrical in any way so I knocked it apart and cut down the frame so everything matched. Then I cut a tongue into the panel and added an outer frame to hold everything together. After that I spent a very long time figuring out a good way to make this into a wall mounted folding table (I ran out of expletives by the time I finished). The table is solid oak with some scraps of purple heart in the corners for decoration.
