TV Trays

[GaryMGg]

My daughter recently moved and expressed the need for some TV Trays, so I made these for a Christmas present for her.

Black walnut and curly maple with pegged mortise and tenon leg stretchers. Shellac and oil finish. I'm going to add a topcoat of Varnish when the weather isn't so uncooperative.

This close-up shows the pegged mortise and tenon:

Those are great Gary!! Are there plans for those online?

Thanks Gregg.
What are these things called plans you refer to?!?

I modeled these similarly to some TV Trays we own. No plans.
That's why there are some minor issues with the design.

These are 15" X 24" and the legs are roughly 27" long.
The intersection point between the legs is at 12".

I'm working on another method of making them and when I get the details
worked out, I'll be glad to share those.
The idea is to have a stepped dowel for the moving legs wherein the head
of the dowel is captured in a batten under the top.

Cheers,
G

Those look great Gary. I need a couple for our house. If you do come up with some kind of a plan please share it.

Very nice looking TV trays. If your daughter doesn't like them you could auction off here.
