EASY Renter Friendly Table Hack!

[@sarahzalan7072]

Yes, please more weekend projects! I thoroughly enjoy seeing you back in your small space creative mode.

[@diyhuntress]

Me tooo! Deal!

[@alee9961]

This is wonderful! I can totally use this table in my dining room and make it so it reaches our glass dining table to enlarge it for additional seating. I always have to put a folding table and this would eliminate that. Thank you!!!

[@diyhuntress]

I love this so much! Please share if you make one! 💓

[@vashock]

A bigger version would be great as a poker table for adults or a board game table for kids in a basement. Great idea!

[@diyhuntress]

Wait. I love this.

[@laurenmitchell1204]

Love the small projects, they feed all of our souls that are stuck in our own renovations

[@diyhuntress]

Yess. Let’s do more!

[@eskimoki9630]

Yes, please more of these easy projects!!! Love this!

[@diyhuntress]

DEAL!

[@judymcinnis]

Sam, this is so cleaver and cute!😀I love how you always explain the process and also show how it's done. I am a visual person and I learn so much from your videos.❤️🌺

[@diyhuntress]

So glad you liked it!

[@megb7491]

I can't think of ANY room that this wouldn't be a great addition for !!

[@diyhuntress]

SAME. 😍

[@stephaniealbert6448]

Thank you so so much for building this with people who don't have tools in mind. I appreciate it so much.

[@jean-marclariviere7618]

Yay...a new video from you...3-2-1-go............The fall ???? i have 5 inches of snow on my land...Have a nice Fall, mademoiselle...

[@diyhuntress]

Ahaha - clearly filmed this before it got cold! It was in the 70s here for a couple of days in November!

[@maryeubanks5347]

a stock dowel can be used fill the pocket holes and is a perfect excuse to get one of those cool Japanese hand saws to cut it flush.

[@diyhuntress]

Totally! Used those before and they’re great!

[@brittanykerrigan]

Omg I’ve been looking for ideas for a Murphy table like this for my craft room and I am so glad I found your KZbin!! Definitely going to be making this, and can’t wait to watch more of your videos!

[@terrythomas2735]

This would be great for home schoolers or art students. Lots of ideas. Great idea

[@diyhuntress]

Love that!

[@user-iv6ty3cd5i]

Beautiful! I think painting the back black would look great but looks amazing!

[@diyhuntress]

Thank you! Thats what I love about this project. It’s so easily customizable! 😍

[@dougc78]

Very clever and well executed……I think even I could do it😳. BTY my wife loved your flannel shirt! Thanks for sharing.

[@diyhuntress]

You totally could! And, ahh! Tell her it’s from American Eagle! 💓

[@JennaMcCallister]

Yaaaas, I love Weekend Warrior/small space mode, because that’s where I’m at still. Looks fantastic! 🖤

[@diyhuntress]

Yesss. Let’s do more of these!

[@aimsly86]

This would even be great in the kitchen as a temporary island when you don’t have space for a permanent one!

[@diyhuntress]

Love! So smart!

[@princessof2k5]

This is very neat!! It’s simple and is a great space saver.

[@diyhuntress]

Thank you! Was so fun to make!

[@L.J.H.-sg6eb]

I haven't done a pocket hole yet but I can see how nice they would be on a bench or murphy table in my hallway when I'm putting laundry away. I'm going to purchase the small version of your medium one cuz I have small projects right now. Then I will graduate to one like you have, that calibrated for me :D 😅

[@diyhuntress]

Ahhh! Get ready to get hooked! 🙌

[@L.J.H.-sg6eb]

@@diyhuntress 🤣🤣 ((saulting you) hahaha I am so ready!

[@JackKirbyFan]

Sam, what I LOVE about you is that you are not afraid to take a chance. I suppose, as I get older, I'm afraid of that. But, this year, I tackled making wooden spoons with just a bandsaw, router table, grinder with a scraping wheel. It shocked me how great it worked out. It was a challenge from my wife and we used totally scrap wood that someone was going to throw away. So, lesson learned. Take chances. Love your channel Sam - so can I talk you into having your spouse to being on the channel and jamming. I really want to hear his guitar playing. Cheers :) P.S. What is the model of your BOSCH miter saw and would you recommend it!

[@diyhuntress]

Love this! And, yes to taking chances! Maybe one day he’ll come on and play some tunes. 😉 The miter saw I have is the 12” Makita! Love it.

[@SledDog5678]

Gotta try this! Great for a computer table! I think an epoxy pour will work for me in the area she has made black. Thanks for your video!

[@diyhuntress]

THAT WOULD BE SO COOL

[@KDVP92]

This video inspired me to make my own. I made mine go from ceiling to floor so it looks like an accent wall. The bottom of the wall has a hidden cabinet door for folding stools. I added pole wrap to panels that show when closed as the decorative element and painted it all black. I also put wall paper on the wall behind the shelves to give it an extra decorative touch when you open it! Thanks for the video! It was super helpful!!

[@diyhuntress]

That sounds so gorgeous! I’m so happy this was helpful! 💓

[@marybarney1198]

Love these easy projects ❤

[@diyhuntress]

I think we need to do more of these again!

[@JaskaranSingh-rn7sk]

Very Sleek, Very Cool 💯 and thanks for showing it can be done with simple tools too ☺

[@diyhuntress]

For sure! So happy you liked it!

[@theresamanginelli1829]

Yes more weekend easy project

[@diyhuntress]

[@coolabahwoodworking]

Awesome build love the concept.

[@diyhuntress]

Thank you!

[@ameybriss]

Luv you Gurl! You're the Best!!!

[@diyhuntress]

No, you are!

[@L.J.H.-sg6eb]

Ooo th art piece!!! Yes so organic! Out of your usual arsenal. I love it! Get comfortable with it. It came from "YOU"! I am inspired by your creativity! I am sure DIY Danie had some things to say. Hmm, would she have used some blues or maybe a reddish orange color on this build? Lol I freakin' have to make this! Haha

[@diyhuntress]

Ahaha - yess. This was so fun! Next time, more color!

[@L.J.H.-sg6eb]

@@diyhuntress Aw, I like your style! Just wondering what your DIY friends have to say.

[@qianadavis1152]

This is a great idea. Gonna book mark this for when I get back into my own space to try

[@andreamalik2961]

Thats actually genius!

[@diyhuntress]

Thank you! Cant wait to see what I can Murphy next. 🤣

Sam what a clever idea, love it

[@GloriaG1972]

This desk/bar is rad!! It can be used in so many spaces for a plethora of different uses!!

[@user-jc8ud6xe9r]

I will build this for my craft and sewing room. Luv it. Thanks

That would be a good camouflage for Batgirl's Bat closet.

[@therealcatgirl]

Love this 😍 Have to make one 😁

[@diyhuntress]

Ahh! Do it!

[@williamellis8993]

Looks great, Sam. Another gem. Bill

[@diyhuntress]

Thank you!

[@mimiaquariusharris6244]

I hope you will do weekend projects also. I saw a table like this on Restoring Galveston. Ingenious idea for a small space.

[@teresabell1014]

I like the small projects.

[@diyhuntress]

Me too!

[@joshhoman]

That is a neat idea! Like a peninsula that folds away!

[@aimeecreative]

I freaking love this!!!

[@diyhuntress]

Thank you!

[@moda78z]

It turned out great, Sam! 😍👍

[@diyhuntress]

Thank you!

Hi! 🐶

[@bismallahqurani20h40]

Love this desk, especially because it is beautiful when closed! Thanks for sharing.

[@diyhuntress]

Thank you!

[@NanaStillLearning]

Very sweet project. This would be nice in my garage work space. It would be nice to have a spot to do math, have a snack or use my iPad while I’m working. Love weekend projects.

[@mariannerady1137]

lovely! So many fold out tables are made with flimsy legs, this one seems really sturdy and it's beautiful

[@diyhuntress]

So far, so good! Thank you!

[@marycoffee7366]

Yes, please. Mote weekend projects👏👏👏👏

[@diyhuntress]

Deal!

[@naya-dariceramos9247]

Please do more like this. Also, if you have renter friendly closet build ideas that would be appreciated.

[@diyhuntress]

Yesss. Love this! Okay!

[@ilensantamarina9715]

I love the way this turned out!!!♡🤍♡

[@diyhuntress]

Thank you!

[@moneymakingmikeg.9555]

Yoooooo Sam!!!! Nice & simple, easy to follow with a big impact!!! Video was very enjoyable Homie!!!! You can make it hold more items by using wider stock as well. Hoping all is well friend, Dirty Jersey out!!!

[@diyhuntress]

You’re the best. 🙌

[@patsybrady8053]

Love it! I’ve been trying to brainstorm how I could do a fold away desk like this that also converts to a standing desk, without having to clear everything off the desk in the process. If you have any ideas, let me know!

[@andreawalker7138]

It looks great! You made a rather daunting-sounding project look very easy.

[@xingcat]

This is great! It would also work really well as a craft/project table in an art roon or kids' playroom.

[@ruthscott5166]

I love this. We want to add a coffee bar to our craft room. I sharing this with my hubby :D

[@EbChrishawn0393]

Love it Sam ❤🎉

[@diyhuntress]

Thank you!

[@GM_____]

I love your videos and enjoy seeing you pull together anything from the small stuff to major builds. Your table looks great.

[@diyhuntress]

Thanks so much!

Love this. Would be cool in a teenagers room for home work. Great job as always. Xx

[@diyhuntress]

Love that!

[@Petesdaughter2]

3 words: YOU INSPIRE ME!!!

[@diyhuntress]

🥺

[@Hanna-zr6hz]

This looks great! 🤩 but how sturdy is it? Any ideas for how to add some additional support to the table top and leg so it can take a bit of weight?

[@annie-centrepiecefurniture]

Love this Sam❤ so clever & minimalist ! Now I’m just trying to work out where I can put one😂 👏

[@diyhuntress]

Do ittt!

[@abr369]

You could create something like this but have it recessed between 2 (wall)studs.

[@agresticumbra]

Nifty. Are those hinges holding up, or did you swap them out for something stronger? I'd love to see the frame and table top in a hardwood. Thanks!

[@diyhuntress]

Holding up so far! I totally agree - I’d love to make an elevated version of this one day!

[@melekkorel2314]

😍

[@kattieilova8239]

It's such a nice project! I'm just wondering what would happen if you accidentally kick or push the leg. I think maybe it will fall? Maybe it would be a good idea to have something holding the leg in the right position when the table is opened🤔

[@diyhuntress]

Definitely an option, if that’s something you’re worried about!

[@patroberts185]

❤❤❤❤❤

[@matthewmartin2951]

You should call it a Murphy table because it's like the Murphy bed

[@L.J.H.-sg6eb]

Sam? Are there special nails for pocket holes? And do you have a video on it and how to measure for pocket holes? Please and thank you!

[@rdb4996]

If you hate the look of the (filled) pocket holes, I probably would invert the planks. Making sure that the holes are on top (except for the bottom plank). Unless anyone knows if that would be a problem with the stability of the joint/weight the planks can carry?

[@fayliatremblay1456]

Did you end up adding hinges to secure it? (I think hinges might be the term for securing a folding table when it’s in position so that if you “kick” it by accident it doesn’t fall down or something?)

[@steenfraosterbro3268]

Nice build. Stability could be an issue if someone hits the "leg" and also that handle is going to get scratched up badly on the concrete (maybe recess it).

[@hammerchickdesigns]

[@diyhuntress]

[@Bkate23]

I have not spent time on your channel lately, so catching up on a few videos. 😁 did you start working again? I remember a video you made ab doing content full time.

[@lindap9079]

Nicely done ! I love thinking outside the box to solve problems. I've watched your colabs with DIY Danie but this is the first time watching your channel. Did I hear you call your dog Arrow? I have an Arrow too. Why did you choose that name?

[@GibClark]

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@diyhuntress]

Happy holidays, friend!

[@traceyc130]

Hi. Love the look of it. How stable is the leg? We have two young Aussies dogs that bump into everything and I’m afraid that the leg might get run into and move from the correct position.

[@diyhuntress]

Thank you! It’s pretty stable once it’s down cause the hinges don’t open any wider, but you could always add some lockout brackets to the back if you’re worried about it getting knocked!

[@traceyc130]

@@diyhuntress thanks

[@blankafuzvolgyi5238]

Any ideas on how one could print a family photo on the leg of the table?

[@DIY-and-Stuff]

Nice job, do you think it may bend in the future?

[@robertevans6481]

👌

[@mellymel1100]

How big is your miter saw? Every time I see it, it looks SO ginormous!

[@diyhuntress]

Ahah - 12” slider! I’m obsessed.

[@ReaperXC]

Primer?

[@sl2427]

Im new here & I cant leave😅 Im planning to build ...remodeling

[@diyhuntress]

So happy you’re here! Stay as long as you’d like. ☺️

[@giseliapereira5914]

Once the table is open, what is keeping the leg from moving? Does that hinge lock in that open position?

[@diyhuntress]

Yes! I chose hinges with limited mobility, so they’d take a lot of force to get them to move once down, unless you’re folding it up.

[@j.f.32]

Hi. How do u prevent the table "leg" to slide and have everything on the table falling off?

[@diyhuntress]

The hinges lock out, but if you’re worried about that, you can always add cabinet lid supports or stop blocks to the back!

[@dannyomo]

Not sure I understand how the art/leg doesn't get kicked out and the whole table drops. Need something to brace/stay the table/leg orientation when it's open.

[@diyhuntress]

The hinges I found can only open to 90 degrees. So, once it’s down it doesn’t go anywhere. If you’re nervous about it being kicked though, a brace or an additional hinge can easily be installed. 😊

[@kimpaynter]

That is a great sexy space saver ❤

[@diyhuntress]

Right!? 🔥

[@TheArtofWalls]

I don't know, but the way those hinges (actually their screws) support all the weight of the table and everything you put on it, makes me feel uncomfor'table'. Also, there is nothing that forces the hinge to stay in a 90º position. any deviation either to the inside or to the outside would make the table collapse. That articulation needs a little more thinking, beginning with the table resting on the leg.

[@diyhuntress]

I’ve had a couple of hang sessions on this table with no issues. You could always add a stop if you’re worried about it collapsing. But, that’s the beauty of DIY projects. You can customize it the way you want for your own space.

[@mellymel1100]

PS. How big is the table top when it's down?

[@diyhuntress]

36”!

[@mellymel1100]

Thanks! Love it!@@diyhuntress
