Oh that's awesome!! Thank you very much!!

This table is lightweight and portable, and folds up for easy storage. It's a easy woodworking project that can be done in a few hours. I used Cedar because it holds up well outside.This is a fun easy project that can be made in a day.

I loved this 5 years ago. I love this now. I love what you do! ♡

Thanks for sharing this project Carl. I made one for my daughter and son-in-law to take camping. She shows it to a few people she works with and next thing I know I have to make 12 more. Guess I know what I'll be doing next weekend! Thanks again...it's a great project and yes, I made a couple for myself. Take care, Steve

one quick question, what keeps the legs from not popping out of the dowels? i seen some parts like the middle dowel it only has two boards so you cant glue one side or it wont swivel so what keeps it from popping out of the other leg? i have seen many done of these but they use bolts and nut but not dowels so i like this method much more but i just dont know that part in order for me to want to make it i must figure out those details hehe...oh and second why the dowels to not let the table close flush in the middle part? just wondering.

@CarlJacobson

Each of the dowel have glue on one end, once you put the flat boards on the tension holds it together. You could use smaller dowels in the center I don't think it maters.
