The table looks fantastik! Thank you for your great explaination of hw the mechanics works. If I have one critique it is the shaky camera - it makes me dizy and the Video hard to watch. Have you tried the youtube stabilize function - it should at least reduce it a bit...
I will make up something for you if you send an email address, Just start as I said in the video, five boards, same width, same length. Keep the width down to 11 inches, think mine was that. length so it looks good. Mine was the longest I could get out of the boards I had on hand. I did make one measurement, table top should end up to be standard 30 inches.
Since it’s going to be used as a table I’d back it to something like a sofa or chair to use as room divider or point of interest. Maybe keep that nice dinnerware set on it. Or pressed glass. Then at least one side of the legs are under the sofa. Oh maybe one shelf could have its own flip out part and hinged under. So you can flip it up and it would be a desk for laptop. It would be flipped out on the book case but never seen as a table. Then a chair would disguise and make safe the other legs. If it had locking rollers then the angle could be changed when it becomes dining and could get stacking type chairs for it, one for desk or even accents in room.
I've had one of these as a kid 😂 in Great table! Germany. It was wall mounted though. Could you tell us where you got the hinges? I'd love to mount one for our school bus conversion. The legs would be a problem.
Mr. Procter: I love your implementation of this design. I was wondering if you could confirm for me a gut intuition I have that the boards which make the shelves can not touch each other when the furniture is in the table position. It just seems like, given the thickness and depth of the shelves, and how all the shelves but the center one rotate around a common point, that the only way the shelves could touch would be in a 2 dimensional world where the shelves had no thickness. Would you agree?
I don't have plans as it was made from a picture. The leaves for this one was 10 inches by 33 inches. Keep the pin spacing the same as the the same as the with of the leaves
Basically all the info you need is on the video. Just choose the size you want and go from there. Make sure all your pivot points oare of the same dimension. I will watch the video and see if anything is left out.
On and off for a week or two. I did it for an experiment as it looked interesting, I tried some small mock up pieces to see if there was some magic dimensions to have it work properly. The only thing you need to so is have the pin spacing all the same and the bars parallel when drilling the holes. One piece of advice is to use plywood for the top panels, as the solid wood like mine expands with moisture and then it jams when making it into a table. I made it so there was no crack, now the edges need shaved off.
@@brianprocter6191 Thanks for the reply Brian, very much appreciated. One other question if you don't mind. What's the dimensions of it? That's if you remember
Hi, We got it at :www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Dining-Table-convertible-table-to-Shelf-Swing-Style-Multifuctional-space-saving/163906370715?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649
I gave it to the lady on the video that sent me the picture, our best friends. I also a few years back I made them a large dinning room table out of the same wood for fun. More rewarding to give things away when you can't put a price on them

I don't have a drawing, but I could make one. All the principles of construction are in the video. I got the basic measurements from our friends, the leaves are 10 inches by 33. You can only make them so wide on the 30 inch standard table top height as it folds down. Just make sure the pin spacing and the leaves are the same measurement.
I just wish I had grass to cut, sill under snow, cold late late spring. Just wait till I post the next smart idea, easier to build and I think it is better that all the ones I seen on Utube. Next week
