    Not sure if serious...


    But thanks if so!

    So I some work today. Built a fold down table..not sure how much I like it yet..

    First I got a Velcro strap to hold the lock down

    3788a4ab06192fd0a7b3b710c2155767_zpsd427_02a164530689879fe1a7493ba80c1ba2eefcc7b7.jpg

    Then I grabbed the last bit of hinge I had left from my lights and cut it

    a899c7366b5fcce1a2f1e415322cfb8f_zps1068_79d2bbec4ebd7eafda7b314a651969918312673c.jpg

    I had my two pieces of aluminum and cut one down so the full table is 40" long

    d6cbc0a3536c1e41f0d8b83f19fd60e6_zps379b_05c3910e2533b16a5d0bcb5cdedf111d4574e20d.jpg

    Used 3" steel to bolt them together.

    66febed95682c3f4c4763176380d9e80_zps6f44_6730dde11cbbe70b4bf7d78c97abdff2a5203fdd.jpg

    Drilled holes and then filed them to square by hand for carriage bolts...was a ton of filing..

    ca1ca7e2188c1cdfb078a46ee2abc483_zps0750_2c12dd0f9cc41f1bdcf45316680bddb4efcac954.jpg

    Sits very flush. Can't even feel the crack

    57d77388caef8acb80a74d9f7a2ea1b7_zps3a08_0316ad7ad8928692e4c826d680649d1cf44783cf.jpg

    Did the same to the hinge

    5fb5df8815e727c8d08d036053d8be8b_zpsd5fa_a6bd82a4bb1a254c9c2f3b4bd7b765ca7b2dd5d0.jpg

    Cut the bolts

    2473804ba576892a9dbe9a0b512891c7_zpsbeae_6e9f3473b1081aa954cc7f2ce15f7117d2e7c6a8.jpg

    Then I made mount to hold the table up

    5fcf6fc36517b2b881dce5861ce34bfa_zps2c56_9da836903829fe39e56dca6ca3a47db743e76e0e.jpg

    Used these plastic handle nuts to go over the bolts. Works awesome.
