Very nice! What a good timing. I was looking for some kind of folding table
to work in my basement. I do not have a lot of space left and this is just
perfect although the one I plan to do will be a lot smaller but the concept
is just amazing. I downloaded the two sketchup plans and they are very well
done. Thank a lot for the good job.

I agree ... well done on all counts.

If you don't mind me asking, what's it weigh out at?

Hmmm; never weighed it. With the legs and leaves off, I tuck
it under my arm and walk away with it. Uses a sheet and a
half of 3/4" plywood to build, plus 18 20"x2.25"x1.25" hardwood
blocks plus six legs. I'm having people over for dinner in a
bit, and it's currently covered with serving stuff, but I'll
weigh it next time I get a chance.

Well, I won a leatherman tool, so yay.

The ones that beat me were pretty good, I have to admit.

Update: it got featured at Go Downsize.

Actually, I never heard of them before, so I don't know if this is
a big deal or not.
