If you're wondering why you would want to bother making something like this, here's a bonus offer video:.
Bear In Mind That Folding Tray Table I made throughout the lockdown woodworking series? Well, I'm revisiting it in this video, and it's a mix of drama and craftsmanship lol.
I'll be using remaining Redwood boards from my deck task to produce the tabletop. It's a simple process, but it needs attention to detail. I have actually got strategies available at, where I've described how to make this whole table from simply an 8-foot long 2×6 board.
Join me in the workshop as I assist you through different steps. I'll reveal you how to edge sign up with the boards for the tabletop, add chamfers for a cool finish, and even how to deal with dowels for the legs. There are a couple of unforeseen minutes, like handling broken pieces (trust me, we have actually all existed), however I'll share how to recuperate smoothly.
The Folding Tray Table might look complex, however I'm here to show it's an attainable obstacle. And the very best part? You'll be entrusted a versatile folding table that's ideal for different usages. So, if you're into woodworking adventures and attention to information, this video is your ticket to a gratifying task. Join me in the workshop as we develop something awesome together!

I love these longer form videos. They are quite like the ones in your courses. It takes me through a project step by step! Thanks
Thanks for supporting how-to project videos! If you’d like to build this table, you can get plans here: https://shopwwmm.com/products/folding-tray-table
Next project could be a storage solution for 4-6 of them like they have when you buy them
Nice to see an old fashioned woodworking video. Just like the old days 🙂
Love this with adjustments and all! Makes me feel like your mortal too! Thanks
And such a dramatic one at that! 😁 I love your sense of humour!
Thank you for showing this to us!
It’s great to see that at no matter what level we are, no matter how detailed our plans are… wood worker mistakes are inevitable and we just need to adapt 😁
Mistakes are a given. They’re going to happen. It’s not if, but when. The measure of a person is how they handle mistakes.
I like that you show when you make mistakes! It makes me feel better knowing that even people who have woodworked for years are human, and i shouldnt feel bad when i accidentally make my table top too small cause i mathed it wrong!
All part of the process! I have some nice, solid shelves now because I did something similar… 🤣
Steve, keep up the great work! Have been watching you for years and always brings a smile when I see you post a new video.
Love the tables. Now if only I can convince my wife that we have the space to store some and I have the time to build them!
Great video, Steve. I absolutely love watching you build a project. This one was especially fun to watch. You know, through the years I’ve found dowels from the big box store to be terribly inconsistent in their sizes. Several times, I’ve purchased a hand full of dowels only to find when I use them that they are not identical in size. I usually find them to be smaller than they are labeled. This is a problem because I generally use them in conjunction with a forstner bit which of course are always a consistent size.
Anyway, thanks for the video and for all the great projects in the past.
As a long retired shop teacher, my main job after safety was saving student projects.
Awesome Steve! I’m almost ready to sign up for the Weekend Workshop! Just a few shop tweaks before I get started!
NIce. I am still using the redwood from a deck I salvaged 26 years ago! The tight grain is unbelievable. Keep up the good work. I loved when you went to your “finishing room,” I.e. put down some paper on the assembly table.
I really admire how authentic you are as a person. We all make mistakes, why not have a sense of humor about it! Love you, man! 😀
It’s incredible to think that I’ve been watching this channel for over 10 years! This one really brought me back to the cleverest folding stool ever, which my rendition apparently turned out well enough that someone stole it from my porch lol. 10 years ago, my ‘shop’ was half of an apartment balcony and now I’m gearing up to build a devoted workshop outbuilding. From one mortal to another, a sincere thank you Steve for everything you do!
Haha, oh man. Hope you got to use the stool a few times at least! That’s tragic!
Thanks for including the “woops” corrections. You know what they say, 20% of woodworking is working with wood. The other 80% is figuring how to keep it out of the fireplace. Great useful project. Thanks for sharing.
Wow! Love your new finishing room, never seen it before. Looks awesome, even better than the shop itself.
🙃
The greatest thing about your videos is you show mistakes can be made at any skill level. Thank you for another entertaining video Steve.
I like this! Going to add it to my extremely long list of projects. I’m a big fan of your long-form vids by the way.
Thanks Steve. What a great project! I happen to have some leftover black walnut (not from a deck mind you) that I think would be perfect for these little tables. Yours look great in teak, but this pauper “ain’t got none”. Thank you for showing that mistakes can and will happen and that perseverance and glue can save the day!
It’s good that you show your mistakes. Novice woodworkers need to know that everyone screws up, no matter how long you’ve been doing it. The lesson is to not panic or get upset. Just figure out what you need to do to fix it and move on. One of the key things I learned long ago is to keep your work area clean enough that you can find the little pieces that need to be glued back together.
Steve, Awesome video as always. Your videos give me the inspiration to attempt each project. Your patience and attention to detail is what I’m striving for.
Thats a great looking side table Steve, the contrasting dowels lift it and the simple design is not only functional but classy !
Loving the Drama and also the mistakes – reassuring to us mere mortals !
