Folding Cabin table??
Steve,
I've not seen one in the flesh, but remember seeing a description of one (probably single leaf, but same principle) in a magazine. It would probably be more secure; main difference, obstructions would be above the table rather than below. On my old boat, table was fixed. There was a leaf of equal size, which of course had to fold on top rather than below, The support for the leaf was removable. There was a piece of threaded rod set in the top end, which screwed into the threaded hole in a ss plate flush mounted in the middle of the leaf. A ss pin on the bottom of the leg fitting into a hole in the sole would give more security. Just some ideas. Garland "Steve" wrote in message news I've been living on my boat for over 6 mo months without a table in the cabin.. Kinda gotten use to all that unobstructed area, but I'm tired of eating at the chart table or on my lap. I promised myself I would build a table over the winter. Why not enjoy both worlds and have a table that can be folded up against the fwd cabin bulkhead?? In order to serve crew seated on either settee it would need to have a main table section that is hinged on the fwd bulkhead and serving the stbd settee and a folding longitudinal leaf for the port settee. I don't care for a idle leaf to be hanging down from the table top so I was thinking to leaf this leaf folded back against the bottom of the table, as it would be when the whole table is folded up to the bulkhead. I have seen some examples of this and they were complicated by a folding leg. I was thinking of a pair of brass chains to the overhead.. Has anyone ever used or crewed on a boat with the free end of the table suspended rather than a leg support?? Thoughts and suggestions? Steve s/v Good Intentions |
