Before you begin
Three details worth checking.
- Lumber sizes. Match the actual stock dimensions in the material list before following the cutting drawings.
- Pivots and hardware. Read the hole positions, bolt specifications and assembly drawings together. Accurate layout matters for the folding movement.
- Fit and movement. Check stability, follow the plan and hardware instructions, and keep fingers clear of moving joints.
