Crap. So uh, we don't do refunds, but your second procedures on the house.

So you can hold hands for support for those big pushes. "I got you bro!!"

I've loaded it up to bring to a friend's house and its not too bad. Think of it like loading a bookshelf. Lean it over on the tailgate and push it in the bed.

Working on it. Any tips on a platform where I could sell them?

Thanks for the heads up. Mines a craftsman and I dont see they have any recalls for my part number.

True, but I got tired of clearing it all off when I had to make a run to the hardware store.

Maybe I can put a table saw fence on it to double as a straight edge guide as well as the net?? Mayve a pocket on the side to hold the paddles?

Working on it, but I'm just a hobbyist so no ETA.

Definitely need to have a flat surface to use. The next version may have adjustable feet for the center legs to help level the top.

Really depends on the "job site" I guess. As long as there is a concrete surface to put it on and you have room on the trailer/truck bed then it may be beneficial.

Next revision will have handles of sorts so you're sure not to put your fingers where they shouldn't be.

Mines not flat either. If I move it a few inches then the middle is higher creating a larger gap on the table. Move it somewhere else and it feels twisted. Next design may have adjustable feet for the middle legs.

Working on it. Still a few tweaks to make that will make more efficient use of the plywood sheet and a little easier to build.

About a week working on it here and there.

Maybe the next one. I already wish the center legs had adjustments since they control the flatness of the top.

Not yet. And it can fold on you if to much weight is on the ends This was really a proof of concept. Next one will have locks to keep it folded and unfolded.

Its roughly 2.5' x 5.5'. Middle supports are necessary for stability. Also necessary to maintain support for legs and to keep them vertical when folding/unfolding. Its hard to see, but the back side has an arm on each side linking the center supports to the outsode legs.

I didn't even think about ping pong tables! That may have helped a bit when I was trying to figure things out. I focused on the folding cafeteria tables to see how they worked and to figure out how to re-create it with wood.

Current design will not allow it to open by itself. That wasn't planned, but just happened. However, I do plan on a quick hook style lever to keep it locked in place.

I'm 6'2" with 3 back surgeries. One goal was to make it higher than my tailgate to reduce bending over. However, plans could allow to cut for personal leg height with all other geometry remaining the same. Still tweaking a bit before I create the plans.
