A Tale of ... 3 Tables

[Malcolm McLeod]

As in another thread, the 'butterfly leaf' idea was on the 'table' so to speak, a while back. I considered both drop-leaf style and removable leaves, but discarded both ideas: The drop-leaf would require one or two rule joints to run full length (9ft) and I had limited confidence in their long term survivability; the removable leaves would typically only impact length, and so not get the narrow dimension down to the doorway's 36" requirement.

On top of these inconveniences, these tables really need to be styled and sized as large harvest/trestle tables to suit the space they occupy - - the only reason to reduce the size is to move thru the doorway. So, the designs in post #2 seemed to check the most boxes.

Glue ups of the legs are underway, but rest assured I DO NOT have enough clamps!
