For a comfortable stay in the fresh air, just good weather and a clean little place. Even eating in comfort without a table is quite difficult, not to mention cooking. Because a minimal set of furniture still take with you is worth it. And to build a neat little camp folding table is actually easy, if you ever held a drill with your own hands.

How to make a table with your own hands?

The whole secret lies in the thoughtful design and folding system. In our version, the traveling folding table will be incredibly compact and simple in execution by our own hands, because we simply fold the table top with a roll, and put the legs inside the roll. As a result, our entire folding camp table, made by ourselves, fits into the cover from the yoga mat .

So, before making a camp table with our own hands, we will buy wooden pads with a circular cross-section for the manufacture of legs, as well as boards of the type of parquet for the countertop. The parts will be joined together by bolts.

1. So, cut the blanks for the legs of the desired length. The thickness will depend on the expected loads. Inside, we will make holes with a drill to establish the connecting thread for the bolts.
2. Similarly, cut the workpiece for the table top from the boards.
3. Next, cut the places of the cut by sandpaper. After the cutting of the saw's parts, the sections will necessarily be uneven, and it would not be advisable to injure them. Therefore carefully rough emery we process edges and boards, and preparations for legs.
4. The next stage of making a folding table with your own hands is the formation of a table top. To do this, we take a nylon rope used for satchels and sports bags. We process the edges with fire. The length of the two blanks coincides with the length of the table top.
5. To have an equal distance between the boards, we put two small plates. Next, fix the step by step boards with each other using a nylon loom. For work we take furniture braces and a hammer.
6. On the edges we will additionally fix two more boards. It is in them will be installed fastening, more precisely bolts.
7. As a result, the table top will be strong enough for a family dinner, but compact for transportation.
8. For bolts inside the legs, you need to install a thread. For this, we make holes with a drill and then install the thread.
9. In the assembled form our folding camp table, made by ourselves, looks like a regular stationary table.
10. In disassembled - it is compact and takes up very little space.
