Introduction
The project involves designing and fabricating a folding table. Basically the
entire table could be divided into three stages, which are concept review
and development, designing and fabrication. The folding table is equipped
by using wood material which include wood board legs, Ply wood, rectangle
solid surface and hinge in manufacturing process.
The advantages of the folding table to be developed can be seen to be
brought easily to another size because the shape can be fold to the small
size and easily to store after using session finished into the small place.
The process of development is initiated from designing the shape of the
folding table by considering the function as well. In order to produce user
friendly product that is suitable to the consumer, consideration to the
ergonomic factor is taken into account. It involves the measurement
process before the materials are cut into pieces before joined together.

3. Cutting:I used saw for cutting the wooden board and logs.
4. Pieces after cutting:- I cut the bard in 4 parts in which 1 is the surface and
3 are its legs.

6. Final product:- after assembly I got my final product that is our folding table.

In order to stop the legs to go further. I made stoppage so that they remain in
their prescribed position.
I calculated the length of the two pieces of a single leg which has movement
around the hinge so that all the three legs form a flat base after opening.
With the help of a setsquare I cut out a perfectly rectangular top for the folding
table.
I calculated the spacing to be provided when the legs are folded to rest according
to the thickness of the wood board.

Material consideration
In a project material consideration play very important role because it show that what are the
properties of the material, how useful it is for the user. it also show that it is environment friendly
or not.
Light in Weight
Tensile in nature.
Easy to cut.
Low cost and easily available.
