This is a wee project I wanted to have a go at with the better weather hopefully just around the corner. They are based around a plan of Steve Ramseys on Woodworking for Mere Mortals.
The left is European oak, and the right is Maple and Walnut laminated together. I turned a maple pin for the hinge on both tables.
Originally I cut all the holes at 75mm, but I found, although fine for wine bottles and larger glasses, “normal” glasses went straight through! So, I lined the glass apertures with a small circle of material. I haven’t got photos of that unfortunately, but was quite pleased with the result!
If you look closely at the stem of the Maple table, you can just see a sliver of metal, which turned out to be a bullet lodged on the batten! Not too much harm caused to the planer knives thank goodness!
The top is about 300mm diameter, and it sits about 600mm high. There is a metal spike epoxied into a rebate in the centre of the post, (which is a single piece of timber, split down the centre, rebated, metal glued in, and timber glued back together again) which sticks in to the ground about 250mm
Comments welcome,

Hate wine but like the idea. I’m sure they can be converted into beer holders.
Well done.

Folding picnic tables, I had to take a closer look at this one. Nice work. Functional. I like ‘em. They’re almost pocket size.
