    Very cool transformation. I'd love to see the mechanism.

    I wonder what the leaves are made of? Solid wood? Composite?

    Those are very cool. They use them on high dollar yachts for space savings.

    that is cool, but how much extra surface space do you get for all the effort put in to making and designing it. it doesn't seem like a hole lot.

    i suppose the that the making and designing was the point and usefulness wasn't.

    There are two of those tables,

    Both made by our own Rick Christopherson

    I wouldn't begrudge the price of work.

    Lets say research and design and building one

    of those tables takes at least a year.

    In my neighborhood unless you clear over 100 g a year you gonna

    have to move or not pay your bills, hoping dogfood is on sale at the A&P.
