Move over, IKEA. Andrew’s Tiny Tables are here. (Ha ha)
Noel asked for some small lunch tables for his clinic staff that wouldn’t take up much space. I whipped these together in a couple of hours and was quite proud of them, and he said they work well.
They are made of 3/4″ birch plywood and brass piano hinges. And they are fastened to studs in the wall. They stay in place using gravity, plus a tiny bit of friction.
I finished them with Watco (Danish oil, golden oak colour) which is very easy and fast to use, so they could be installed the same day as being built and finished.
When folded up, they stick out from the wall a hair over 1.5 inches.
To set them up, simply lift up the flap, and then pull the triangle piece out to use as a support, ensuring it is below the table.
I guess I need to give them a Swedish-sounding name. How about “Schmöggledblork”?
