Cricket Table


This project is one that I learned about in our summer conference for woodworking teachers this past June.  We built a table that has a rotating top with three leaves of the table that drop down when rotated, creating a triangle shaped top from the original round top.  This table was originally designed in England for people to use while watching the game of cricket.  It provided a light weight table that could be transported easily.  It is a fun project and one that I think high school students will enjoy building.  The table in the pictures is unfinished due to the fact that I have not been back to the school shop this summer to apply the stain and finish.  The first picture is with the round top and the second shows the table with the leaves dropped down forming the triangular top.  Sorry about the pictures being sideways, I thought that had been fixed, evidently not.
