I can't thank you enough for posting this. I realize that sounds crazy, but (trust me) I am going crazy. Just take a look at all the projects I have piled up in the living room, and you'll see what I mean. I had already made a resolution to work on my design for a drop leaf dining table … last night, so I watched TV. I swore on waking up and driving into work that I would, without fail, cut out the pieces tonight, come what may … and then found out that there is a new episode of "Numb3rs" on tonight, you know, the show that stars a craftsman house, with some dumb plot or other hung on to it. So, I figured a visit to Lumberjocks would provide the necessary incentive … and the first thing I see is this incredible drop leaf table. Obviously, God wants me to get back to work and stop watching television.

Spectacular, I love the engineered wood mechanisms you've crafted to make the table function. The hinge adds a subtle substantial detail that really increases to the overall uniqueness of your design! The chair, the table and, I guess, specific to this post, the leaf locking! ALL AWESOME! We so very rarely get to see the underside or inner workings of pieces and I must say, there doesn't appear to be any compromise in quality when you flip yours over!

Very nice work. Pieces I'm sure Maloof himself would be proud of. Love the sliding mechanism for supporting the drop leaf, was that a Maloof design as well?

Thanks buddy, I get the impression that Sam is flattered that so many of usemulate or mimic his style but he is also a little frustrated by it.

Nope, I'm not sure what his hold-outs look like. I haven't seen any pictures and I didn't think to look at them when we were touring his house. I had to sleep on them for several days to come up with something that would work well and fit the design of the table.

That one holdout is strong enough to hold the leaf up as well as any weight applied to it? Is this a functional table, or for decoration only?

Rareddy, that kind of an odd question, what makes you think that it is not? I'd estimate the leaf weighs about 5 to 7lbs so it wouldn't take much to hold it alone, but the only issue you would have with this table is setting something so heavy on the leaf that it caused the table to tip.

It is very fictional, it's currently in a clients Dinning room being used daily for the past 2 1/2 years
not sure about you but I don't get many calls for non-fuctional funiture.
