Project Information
My oldest daughter is getting married and heading off to graduate school. I wanted to build her a dining table for apartment living, but could also see extras as needed.
Got the twist and flip idea from a Fine Woodworking article.
Was a fun build, and got the whole thing made out of a single slab. I love working with slabs. Lets pick the grain I want, and you get uniform color and grain. (mostly )
The top rotates 90 degrees to a stop, then folded top opens up into its larger position.
I used SOSS hinges for the folding top. Took some experimenting to get them mounted without a huge gap when closed.
The top rotates on a 3/8×24 tpi bolt that I welded a square plate to with a hole in it so once installed, I could screw the plate to the carrier so it wouldn't fall out after much rotating.
Fun build!
