Expanding Table

Wow!....Now thats an interesting table, I would love to have plans for that. Thank you for the post.

-- Can't never could do anything, to try is to advance.

And for only $48.000 to $70,000 one of these could be yours.
Great design but I dont think Mr Fletcher will be giving up the plans any time soon.
Here is his site if interested.

Wow! I’d love to get a hold of those plans!

Well, Toyguy could buy one and take it apart. Then he could share the plans. LOL

-- If we learn from our mistakes, I'm getting a fantastic education.

LumberJocks don’t buy $48,000.00 tables. We build our own! And for a ton of money less.

They are impressive to say the least. I’m very curious just to see the plans.

-- Bob Vila would be so proud of you!

The joinery on this table is exquisite. This is a table for someone who has more money than they know what to do with.

That is one awsome table.

Very cool, but it does have an evil torture chamber look to it….”As they slowly lowered the victim into the tooth wheel of death…” bwa ha ha ha haaa! (evil laugh)

Here’s an 1888 patent on a "Jupe table" leaf extension system, and here's a log with lots of pictures on building a Jupe table (although Rick Christopherson’s table doesn’t have the snazzy mechanism to raise the leaves from underneath).

Very cool links Dan, Thanks.

Apparently you just need a little mettle nob to install underneath the table. After that you just twist…

Seriously, though. That’s cool.

Yeah, showed that to a non woodworker buddy of mine here at work and his comment is:

“In the feats of human ingenuity… there is going to the moon, and that table…”

That is one amazing table.

I sure if I tried making one of those, I would be doing woodworking from the “Nut House”. Great design.
