Great project Steve. My wife fell in love with at the moment she saw it, and absolutely loved the door pulls.
On another note, for all the people who are judging about the advertising in Steve's videos. This is how Steve makes his living. The money comes in because of what he does for the companies that sponsor him. No one here questions how you make your living, so let Steve make his. He is doing the Woodworking community a great service, you should be thankful not ungrateful.
I hope Steve becomes a Millionaire selling products for company's , sales is a wonderful profession that is absolutely necessary for manufacturing and prospering our country.
I was not even aware of the Grr-Ripper until I saw Steve's demo , I bought two of them and I am so much safer. I used to dread ripping thin strips on my table saw with a push stick and would not go near an open router bit without a fence. I also have purchased the Kreg jig system and it makes my work more enjoyable. Rock On Steve , Rock ON !
i've never understood people that complain about this. they must not watch movies because they clearly help their favorite movie stars swim in money by doing so. or even network t.v. i wonder if they call up nbc or cbs and complain that they KNOW someone is making money over the commercials they are forced to sit through. i pray they all get cancer of the eyeballs. that will teach them a lesson.
Glad to know I'm not the only one that has had problems with those locking hinges.
Mathias is the DaVinci of woodworking. Izzy is the Robin Williams of woodworking. You are the "everyman". I hope you take that as the compliment it is intended to be.
Steve, I may have missed this in the previous comments but another brace idea could just be a simple triangle on a hinge along one side and a set pin on the top side. Swing the triangle into place and set the pin into a retaining hole on the underside of the table top. The triangle would keep the leg in place and the pin (working with gravity) would keep the triangle in place.
Beautiful craft table, your wife is a lucky lady to have a hubby like you to make her craft room/guest room so elegant and perfect!!!! THUMBS UP!!!!!!!
Beautiful table!!! My wife goes nuts over this project. I think this table counts as a sewing station, so you´re out of hook. Thanks for this great video. Thanks to MicroJig, Audible and your Patreon sponsors for sponsoring the show.
The folding locks are easy to put into place.
Just have them in the locked straight position measure the holes and where it is going to go, Then remove about 2-4mm towards the topsurface and it works just fine and has enough room to lock and fold with ease. This is a simple yet very usefull.
As i've used these countless times during my educational days.
Easiest way I found to install the table support brace was to take a 45 degree tool and measure my height off the bottom. But I noticed your braces fold towards the pivot which is possible but is a really huge pain. Turn them around so they lock by pushing towards the pivot. Also safer so if you bump it with your knees you are not catching a falling table. Hopefully this makes sense. Thanks for the great videos, love watching them.
I have to say that learning about french cleats are some of my favorite things I have learned about watching woodworking videos. So versatile!
Great ideas for small spaces. Ideas like this will come in handy in about 5 years when our oldest moves out and my wife takes over his bedroom. It will be frilly craft Shangri-La.
This is exactly what I want in my living room so I can use it as a dining room to. Thank you for the video. all I need now is a carpenter to make it for me.
Ya know, I've watched this video probably 10+ times over the years and never noticed til now that you installed the locking hinges backwards. They are an absolute nightmare on the best days but that may have complicated things more
I listened to Ready Player One via Audible a couple of years ago. I really loved it. Wish they'd make a movie, but they'd have a hell of a time with all the licensing.
I watched this back when you first made it, but now that I'm FINALLY making my own, I really want it to have storage behind it, with the table making up the door of the cabinet. I don't know that I'll be able to make the bottom of the table look as nice as you made your doors, but I'll certainly try.
I was just thinking that looked like Tardis blue, and then you said it. You are my people.
In the town where I was born, video games were forbidden (yes, illegal) so only in holidays on the beach, I used to go to videogames, I LOVE the 1942, game. Cheers!
Great hideaway table. Now my wife will want one :)
Just stopping back in to say hey. You are responsible for teaching me some things that I use all the time (all of the time?) and I am forever grateful! I'm coming up on 8 years of woodworking. Thanks Steve!
(and I still miss that styrofoam "WWMM" sign by the door!)
Tardis Blue! Surprise reference to Doctor Who!! Love your show even more now
Easy peasy! Now all I need is an entire Ye Olde Yankee work shop to get it done! Very nice!
"Ready player one" is seriously an underrated book. Since it's genre tagging, it gets looked over. Im a total nerd, so I seeked it out. Great read, and it goes seriously quick. I found myself googling some references and totally laughing that I forgot about them!! Great stuff.
RP1 is a great book even if you haven't weren't around in the 80s like me! And great build!
Hi Steve, this might be the answer to getting a better desk in my craft room. Someone gave me a huge office desk. Big metal thing with file drawers on either side. 2 smaller ones above. The only thing the file drawers are good for are damaged knees! If you could just lay the table out on top of some small rolling cabinets, or drawers... There might not be such trouble with the hinges.the piano hinge might be enough. I'm not a woodworker, so I'm not sure. I love Lindsay at the frugal crafter's videos. Thanks for sharing your expertise,
Battlezone! I am going to build this table in my kids' tree house. Should be fun!
Oh my! Those are some sick handtool skillz!
Also loved the knobs.
As for the classic arcade game I guess I´d have to go with Elevator Action. Didn´t play too much arcade when I was a kid. The country was bad and money was a problem..even small coins. I remember I once build an "arcade" machine with my brother. It was just a writing cabinet with controls and a screen drawn with chalk. The days of imagination...life was easier I guess.
THANK YOU for recommending Ready Player One. BEST BOOK EVER. I read it two years ago.
I LOL'd at the SLICK HAND-TOOL SKILLZ
So funny hahaha, great video as always!
I desperately need this drop down table. Will definitely try to make it.
Awesome!
I just ripped my laundry room apart and I wasn't sure how to put it back together with storage and a folding table.
This craft table and cabinet answers both!
I'm also a nerd, I freaked out my family when I recognized you were going to use a french cleat to hang the cabinet.
I've read Ready Player One many, many times. In both print and Audible form. It is one of my favorite books.
I got Ready Player One in Lootcrate once and it was the first book that I had read in a long time and actually paid attention to it. I wish it didnt end. And nerd would love reading the book.
I'm going to build something like this in our kitchen for a fold down counter space. Thank you for the inspiration.
justin slinkard I also this this would make a great laundry folding table.
I REALLY love this fold down table. I've been looking around UA-cam for ideas for a horizontal wall mounted fold down craft table. My carpentry skills, and tools can't do anything like this. My random thought it up but haven't sketched it out would be a light hollow core interior door, with wood anchor board along wall, hinged to that, chain or rope on either side drop down legs. When folded up to wall thought I could paint with chalkboard paint and then cork on part, trim around the edges. Crazy idea really. Who knows. Thanks.for your videos :)
Congarts on completing the Craft room Steve. It looks awesome. Good use of space. love all the bright colours.
I have not read Ready Player One, I so need to. I was a child of the 80's (born in the late 70's) So, I have very fond memories of games like Tempest (which is also one of my favorite games of all time), but at the top of the list is Ms. Pac-Man. I was fortunate enough to get a non-working Ms. Pac-Man for $90 and was able to get it working once again.
Thank you for all of your videos. As I am new to doing large carpentry and building up quite the shop for myself, I love watching your videos for ideas and techniques.
Awesome video. Never read the book but watched the movie.
The 80's was the decade! :) I remember all of the things you mentioned. I played so many video games I think punch out was one of my favs! Neat table!
Chris
Hey Steve, instead of the leg braces, you could have done a mortise on the top of the legs, so you could fit in a removable wooden wedge which would lock the legs in place.
I've read the book Ready Player One about 3 times. I love the story, and the writing is fun and keeps things moving swiftly. I've recommended it to several people, but apparently I've surrounded myself with non readers over the years.
I didn't play much arcade games but I do like them. I even built an arcade cabinet with a PC inside emulating almost all arcade games back in 2012. The games that had me hooked initially were Fatal Fury and Chase HQ. But I like old video games in general.
My brother in law is a carpenter and he help a lot with woodworking. This was before I started to watch your show. The router became my favorite tool since that summer. My next project is a custom pinball machine :)
Nice project, you can definitely save some space to your work room with something like that!
I made a fold-out sewing table using those braces. I am a TOTAL non-knowledgeable beginner, so you can imagine the fun I had with them. My approach, that worked eventually: liberal application of knuckle blood, many colorful curses, and a mindless, dogged determination to get those _____s to work. But oy. Good on you for getting it to work. I'm jealous of that crafting room, btw.
A lot better than Ikea !!!!! Nice job.
Between the murphy bed and this drop down table I think I definitely have some space saving projects for in the future.
Ready Player One was a good read, loved all the 80s references and heard rumour of a possible film in the making. Wife quite impressed with this build, need to get some Kreg clamps but quite pricey in the UK at about £35 each. Love the show and tune in each week ☺
Zaxxon!!!! Great idea Steve. I used this idea for a dining table in my Batchelor pad in Florida using a painting cut in half for the table base/leg. Worked great. Thanks for the great videos.
Another great example of a simple project done well. I love the "sick hand tool skillz"!
Just finished the book. Absolutely love it. All the references to the old video games and genre took my way back. Oops! Am I dating myself? A Great Story. Keep up the great show.
Excellent Idea! I am going to use it at our preschool for our cafeteria room.
Thank you very much!
Jackal for NES 1988. you controlled jeeps with guns. it had nonstop action, cooperative 2 player, and heroic music. the best.
I think the Braces are supposed to collapse outwards. I think you might have them on backwards.
Mere Mortals make it all work out
Andrew Zywicki No they are on right. with age they get looser, so they need to unfold down. that way gravity will hold them in place.
Andrew Zywicki That would work but then gravity is not holding it in place/straight. Probably wouldn't be an issue unless a leg got kicked in or something. All folding tables I've had to set up and break down (and there have been many) all had the brace folding inwards.
I think Andrew is correct.. I have a Coleman camp table with these same type of folding braces, and they fold outward. Once snapped in place there's no need for "gravity" to do anything..

Believe it or not, I remember Ghosts 'n Goblins. I remember spending hours and hours at the arcade, trying to beat that game as a kid. Mind you, I was a kid some 15 years after the game initially came out. I did however spend lots and lots of allowance money on the game. It is on my list of goals to one day build a home arcade machine, to be able to play a variety of 80's arcade games.
You should do one sometime Steve Ramsey. Build an Arcade Game case.
Super Mario Brothers was in a bar when I was young. I also ended up seeing later games like The Super Spy, Space Harrier, Skate or Die, and later on Mortal Kombat released.
That is an awesome table. The French cleat system is the way to go!
Oh wow I love that! and very smart to you a French cleat to hang it first. Def going to make this when I get a craft room
Great project I like the bird pull handles. Someday I could build my own fold down work table. Your an inspiration to all.
My god dude that room looks awesome now. It's like a collection of Steve Ramsey's masterpieces
Kool project! I Loved those eighties video games. Favorites were Moon Patrol, Robotron 2084, and Asteroids!
Hi Steve, thank you for all of the videos. I have an entire folder full of bookmarks of your videos.
Oh my Gosh Steve! You are perfect! I had just decided (This Morning actually ) that I wanted to build one of these for my Shop as a sort of Drafting table or office work station. I had no idea where to start, and here you come with a great inspiration! You Rule! I also just finished a version of your Zen Garden Sand Trap as a father's day gift. Thanks for all the inspiration!
Hey Steve, the room looks great. Looking forward to the review of the entire room. The temp here has finally stabilized above freezing for several weeks. Now it's non stop raining, got over 2 inches in an hour last Saturday.
Love the book recommendations. The Martian and Ready Player One are already at the top of all time favorite audio books.
Hi Steve great video! Centipedes was the best.
The brace they make a right and left side.
I used that brace to hold open the lid on a pallet wood ice chest stand.
Dungeons and Dragons was the game for me, I remember putting a LOT of coins in that game.
Nice table Steve, those hinges can be a pain without mad hand tool skilz!
Yes! I spent many quarters on that game Joust. Arcades were where we went most Friday nights. Tron was a favorite of my as well.
Steve, The one's my brother installed had the 'hinge' go to outside - away from the hinge of leg attached to table, not toward. That does not solve the problem of where to put the locations , but does solve the problem of scooping out the inside. Just a thought.
How lovely if you mount this table over a window so it become a window doors and table with lovely sight :)
thanks so much for these videos... i've been "digesting" your videos from 8 years ago... till your more recent ones... you've come very far with video quality! power on ahead, my friend! love your enthusiasm and for keeping it real!
Galaga was my weakness. It was like Space Invaders on steroids. I still occasionally save the world with the PC version. Love the table idea. Anything that is space saving is always welcome. Thanks again, Steve.
For the legs you can have them extend farther than 90 degrees and have rope back to the hinge to hold it from sliding out and because it is over 90 degrees it won't be kicked in. Just a thought
you are awesome really no words for you steve ramsey sir now i convert into carpenter instead of eng superbb suprebbbb . :)
That book was recommended to me last week at work, think its about time I got it
That is an AWESOME project: simple enough for beginners like me but a lot useful in the end!
Dang, showing off those sick hand tool skills! Awesome build, Steve!
Wonderful project!
On another note I love your commercials 😅
So witty and funny
I never played it in the arcade, but Megaman 2 has to be my all time favourite game.
This is just great! I have a very small room, and a table like this would be great to have. Not only will it save me some space, but it'll also make cleaning dust much easier. If I could design it in such a way to that it is large enough to hold some shelves inside, that would be even better. Thank you for the fantastic idea!

Loved Ready, Player One! Tempest was one of the few arcade games I was fairly good at. The very first computer game I ever bought and played was Zork, So many good memories.
That came out great Steve! The whole room looks like you could do some good work in there; then put it all away.
READY PLAYER ONE is amazing! It was so much fun and I loved Wil's reading of it. Good call Steve
Steve...
I have never installed these but looking at the video...
It looks like the supports would work better if you reverse which end is screwed to the leg and which is screwed to the table top.
If you do so, you will not have to gouge out wood for the link to clear.
Try it, I am quite sure it will work.
Best Regards,
Anon
I love what you did in your craft room! Outstanding!
Awesome Steve as always u have inspired me to get into woodworking over the last few months keep up the good work.
Steve, as usual excellent video and content. I would like to offer all a little hint that can save you a lot of trouble. When using a french cleat to hang projects, in particular heavy ones don't paint the two 45 degree angle cuts. Over time the painted surfaces will literally weld themselves together and make it very hard to remove from the wall.....don't ask!
You've been going through my 2014 reading list. I loved Ready Player One!
Brownie points for steve! Good idea im sure ur wife will love it! And the finished room
I've actually listened to "ready player one" last month on audible. It was amazing! I've heard Spielberg is making it into a movie! I could not put it down when listening to it.
I'm thinking of making this table for my garage... Useful for when I move the car out.... Limited space :(
I'm going to have to make a few of these for rooms in our house. Crafts, laundry folding table(s), spare workstation, you name it.
Regarding Ready Player One, that's a favorite. Seems like we're on a common reading list. Make sure you read "Off to be the Wizard," by Scott Meyer, if you haven't already.
Whatever Microjig is paying you, its not enough.
What? At the beginning so you can easily skip it and with a clever intro? Jeez man.
+William Jones some people think that the world is here for just for them and that people like Steve Ramsey should spend all their time and money producing quality content for their entertainment without ever charging for it or daring to try to monetize it. This is EvilNuff's world. You and I are just living in it. And how dare MicroJig make efforts to inform potential customers about their product and company?!?
I wonder if it would be feasible to mount a table like this under a Murphy bed. It would need stronger latches, I suppose and doors may be unnecessary. It could potentially keep the Murphy bed from being just a big pink box.
Exactly what I was thinking of doing!
i liked the colors you use on this table, especially the stippling with the stencil. i learned to do that from my mom who has a lot fo stencils i should put to more use.
Fave arcade game, um my friends and i either played joust, duck hunt or xenophobe.
Pole Position was my racing game of choice when I was a kid.
Thank you so much for this video!! I am converting an armoire into a craft storage/workstation and will be adding this table to it.
galaga and pac man Were my two favourite video games to play in the arcade in the 80s :-)
Man I just love your woodworking ideas thanks steve
River Raid was my favourite from 80s. Spent lots of money on those arcade machines.
Hi Steve! Just found your channel. Thank you for this! I need a much smaller one. I've been asking my husband for a while. I can do it myself. Love this!! THANK YOU!
when i use that kinda of brace i use a builders square to install it at 45 angle with the brace in the locked position
Joining in the "late crew" but Ms. Pac-Man was my arcade game of choice! And Ready Player One really was a great read. At this point I've bought it multiple times - once for myself and also as a gift for several of my family :D
And this video is *exactly* what I was looking for this week - I have a mighty need for a drop down table or two! Thanks!
Cool project Steve. It can be used anywhere. Planning to build one for my storage unit, I mean my garage !? Like many folks my garage is packed, so this build will be very helpful for me to optimize my remaining work area. Thanks man.
