Look what I made

If you are a professional carpenter or just really good at it you might want to look away now. In my travel trailer I had a need to open up the dining area as well as provide myself with a place to do my wire wrapping and jewelry. I got tired of the dining table that came with the trailer so I decided to change things. At first I was just looking for some kind of table or work desk that I could just put in there but even after long searches online I couldn't come up with anything that would fit where I needed it to go. In a moment of insanity I decided I would make my own desk. I wanted it to be able to be folded up so if I needed the dining table again I could just fold the desk up and out of the way. It took a bit of thinking (yep, my brain hurts...lol) but I came up with a workable desk. I used wood that was laying around my mom's garage and bought the hinges online. I'll be testing it out in Quartzsite soon. I will confess I am not a carpenter nor am I into perfection so it looks a little rough but it will do the job so I'm happy.

The bottom with legs folded. Yes, I know it only has three legs but that was the only way I could figure out to get it to fold up without the legs getting in the way of each other. I thought it was rather ingenious of me (pats self on back).

legs unfolded - please ignore the duct tape on the bottom that is holding the contact paper in place since it was being a bear and didn't want to stick on the underside of the desk.


Set up.


Top is covered with contact paper in a neutral tone.


How it looks set up in my trailer.


I am proud of the new desk and am hoping it will work out for me.

Thanks for looking.
