The next step on my project is to make my table fold, to do this I needed some hinges. Before that I had to clean off edges of the ply, I used a rasp to grate off the bits of wood that didn't overlay smoothly.
I sanded the edges to give them a smooth feel. Then to start the process of making it fold. I started off by using the circular saw to cut the piece of ply wood in half. Then I figured out the distance needed to evenly space four hinges, then I drilled some holes and screwed the hinges on.
Then I decided that to finish the folding effect i would need to put folding legs on it. Knowing that making my own legs would be too hard I went out and brought some. After drilling holes and grinding down bolts I screwed on the legs.Then when everything was on we tried to turn it onto the legs and stand it up. But the hinges were made to bend beyond 180 degrees, so tomorrow I am going to go buy some plates to stop it from bending
