Jigsaw Puzzle Table

My Dads cousin contacted me shortly before Christmas to see if I could build a table for assembling jigsaw puzzles. She is a flight attendant and had seen one in a SkyMall catalog, and wanted to get it for her son. After reading the poor reviews the product was given, she decided to contact me. I had never seen one before, so I did some research online. There was not much info to go on, so I opened up Google SketchUp and got to work. Figuring out the angles for the legs and the fold out leaves was a challenge, but I think it turned out very well.

 Now, if only I had the time and patience to be a "puzzler"!

 Folded for transport/storage

 

 Antique Brass Sash locks keep puzzle pieces in place during transport/storage

 

 Legs fold into eachother via rabbets cut on inner legs

 

 Legs splayed @ 115º angle. Notice rabbet cut out of right side legs.

 Leaves open to 165º via brass knife hinges and end cap cut @ 15º on top

 

Completely open and ready to play!

 

 The only puzzle we own: My 4 year olds Dora the Explorer Puzzle!

 

 Fold out leaves hold pieces until they are ready to be fit in the puzzle.
