Card Table

[aitchem]

Hello,
I am seeking inspiration for a card table design.
A fold away type a bit like a picnic table not requiring any expensive or hard to get hardware.
I've googled to no avail.!

thanks

The good old-fashioned folding scissor legs pattern worked a treat - and it's simple too so it gets my vote!

Legs bolted together at mid-point (to allow 'X' form), one pair hinged to table underside, both pairs of legs lodge (catches applied) inside frame of table top.

Any good?

My thoughts too, but the thought of an 80 yr old lady jamming her fingers in the workings gives me the willys.
