A nostalgic look back at plans published by Delta1 Machinery during the World War II era. From Vol. 5, Issue No. 5, 1936 ConsoLE Table Working on a simple pivot, the top of this attractive console table can be instantly revolved to convert it into a practical card table. It can also be used as an occasional table with both top leaves folded to a single surface. The construction is not difficult, and perhaps the only real piece of work consists of band sawing the curved end pieces. These should be carefully sanded to a smooth, even surface. Both pieces should be cut from one piece of wood in order to cut down the waste. The stock can be either solid or built-up from three or four thinner pieces. Taper the legs on the jointer, and make the frame assembly with dowel joints as shown in the sketch. The corner brackets are bradded and glued into place slight- ly inside the edge of the frame. The top is made in two pieces, each to the dimensions given in the drawing. The upper leaf of the top must be finished on both sides. The two parts are fitted together with invisible hinges of the type shown in the insert. These can be procured from any hardware dealer and cost about 30 cents per pair in brass ($17 these days). Complete the project by making the pivot turning shown. This should be a snug revolving fit in the hole in the cross piece. The photo shows the pivot being screwed in place, the top being carefully placed, flush with the back of the frame. PW 22 Popular Woodworking December 2001 |
