Well, I'm finally at the end of this project. It has been quite the challenge and a lot of fun. I completely max'd out one website with graphics and had to span this to another website to get it to fit, but it has been an enjoyable endeavor of documenting the process along the way. Just recently I have figured out how to build this table with self-storing leaves using the same robust mechanical system that is the foundation of this table design. The only other version of this table that I am aware of that can perform this action uses cables and springs for the mechanism, which is not very robust. I look forward to implementing this design concept in the next version of the table.
