Collapsible Picnic / Side-Table

I needed some extra tables for the family Picnic / BBQ.....
So I start searching for a 2x4.... well that was harder than I thought.
Because 2x4 are hard to get in Holland. We have brick houses and only use them for personal projects. But I find some cut offs and made these Collapsible tables.
Handy for a BBQ, picnic or the beach and camping. Even when you are on the road.....

For the full construction you can watch my video how I made it.

What do you need:

1. Abrasive cloth or old sanding belts ( you can use any grit you like )
2. Treaded rot or a bolt M12
3. Some lock nuts
4. Washers
5. A piece of 6 mm plywood
6. Scrollsaw ( with blades to cut metal.....)
