Other than some shelves that I made for my office. This is the first piece of furniture I've ever made. Lots and lots of mistakes and do-overs. Still, I think it turned out pretty good.
Coffee table. 2 36"x36" sheets of birch ply, with 1/8" Poplar hobby boards glued/nailed to it in the design. The ply was stained with homemade Iron Acetate stain. Then epoxy was poured onto the recessed parts and in all the cracks. Then the whole thing was sanded again and covered in many coats of Lacquer... lost count.
The table uses a mechanism ordered from AliExpress that folds out to a table. It pops up, and to the left, then the top of the coffee table is rotated over the other "legs" of the mechanism, and it becomes this table. Just high enough to comfortably game from the sofa. (The plywood surface was stained with Minwax Golden Oak and coated in about ten coats of lacquer.)

My goodness. No video?
Seriously I can't figure out how the table gets that "wide" when its popped up. I figure its just the underside of the "down" coffee table but my brain still no compute.
If I'm understanding the design correctly, the coffee table is two boards folded on each other with a support mechanism hidden inside. When you lift up the table, the mechanism unfolds but the top of the table part goes entirely to one side. You then unfold the top onto the second side of the mechanism. It's not an automatic unfold.
Well said. Yeah, I was having a hard time describing how it works.
Ahhh that does make a little bit of sense now. Thanks.
That's wicked cool. Id suggest putting some thin pads on platform where the top rests so you dont ding up the beautiful top
Yeah, I think I'm going to wrap it in felt.
I'll see what I can do.
