As an adjunct to another post on TSBB I got asked about the dining table we have aboard Tehani and it was suggested I post the write up and pictures here also. So here it is.

It stows up under the foredeck over the vee berth

Here's two bottom shots showing the leg attachment and the turn button that holds the leg folded while the table is stowed. It needs the pair of hinges otherwise it tends to wobble. I know- I tried it with just one

Hope this gives someone some ideas on how to do something similar
