How To Make A Folding Table
This table is lightweight and portable, and folds up for easy storage. I used Cedar because it holds up well outside.This is a fun easy project that can be easily made in a day.

Hi my name is Carl Jacobson,
I started woodworking with my grandfather as a young boy. I continued woodworking through high school, and started woodturning after seeing a turned project in a friends shop. Shortly after RU-vid started, I was looking for a howto video for duck calls, with no results I decided to make my own video. Some of my fondest memories are working with my grandfather in his wood shop. Being able to share our passion for woodworking, ties it all together.

This table is lightweight and portable, and folds up for easy storage. It's a easy woodworking project that can be done in a few hours. I used Cedar because it holds up well outside.This is a fun easy project that can be made in a day.

@johncurry3880 8 лет назад

Carl, thanks for doing this video. After watching it several times I made one today, it's my first and it came out pretty good. There is one thing that I could use some help with and that is which dowels get glued in, it wasn't clear to me. I have mine finished but I have not yet glued any of the dowels in. Again, thanks for doing it.

@CarlJacobson Год назад

That's awesome! Thank you so much Steve!! If you're going to use it outside, I think any poly finish would work great.

@dreamkiss4u 6 лет назад

one quick question, what keeps the legs from not popping out of the dowels? i seen some parts like the middle dowel it only has two boards so you cant glue one side or it wont swivel so what keeps it from popping out of the other leg? i have seen many done of these but they use bolts and nut but not dowels so i like this method much more but i just dont know that part in order for me to want to make it i must figure out those details hehe...oh and second why the dowels to not let the table close flush in the middle part? just wondering.

@CarlJacobson 6 лет назад

Each of the dowel have glue on one end, once you put the flat boards on the tension holds it together. You could use smaller dowels in the center I don't think it maters.
