With the leavesdown, the table is
small,so it won't tate up too much
space.And when you need a larger
table,you cajl neadydoublethe size
ofthe top by quicklyliftittg the leaves
and pulling out the supports,as
showl in the insetphoto at right
Drop leavesare more than just a
practical solution - they're also
interestingto build. The profilesare
created with two common router
bits. And the key to a smooth fit is
getting the drotrleaj hinges posi-
tioned correcdy.But dont worry, it
isn't hard to end up with a smooth
fit. Everltling here has been kept
as basicas possible.So iJ youve
never built a dropleaf table before,
then this is a great project to learn
with. There's even a steFby-step
article about the drodeaf joint that
startson page12.
There's another reasonwhy this

Fwrcticnal,elegut,md,eay-n.build- a drop.Ienf

ou alreadyknowthe ideabehild a
drogleaf table.Most of the time,
the leaveshang at the sid€s of the
table.Then when you need a larger
tabletop,ifs a simpl€matt€rto lift the
leavesandextendthe supports.
But for me, ,I'o?0a dropleafjoint
(or rule joint) works is more inter-
esting than ?.,/z{rtit does.The joint
combin€stwo matchingpra
6l€s: a roundov€r on the
tabletop and a cove on the
leaJ.Wlen the leal is raised,
its cove waps around and
rests on the tabletop's
roundover This way, the
weight is disfibuted evenly
along the entire edg€ of the
top - notjust on the hinges.
To create these two pro-
^ A &oh-lzafjoint usesrwo files, you'll need a pair of
cdnmonfrolLts to oeatc router bits. And eventhowh
d sllongirbk exrcruion, matching sets are available,
there'snothing specialabout
these bits. IJ you have a %rrround-
over bit and a ,,r! covebil then the
only thing to buy are someinexpen-
sive drotrleaf hinges, as sho\^,nin
the uppermarginphoto on page13.
Nov iI you're wonderingwhat
the "catch" is, you can relax.
There aren't any surprises with
this drotrleafjoint There's no dif-
ficult handvrorkor €ven a jig to
build.Its a straighdorwardproce
dure,involvingonly a few steps.
The first step is to get your table
top and leavesglued up and ready.
Then the profiles c?II be routed on
the panels.And th€ last step is to
attachthe leavesto the table
top with the dropleaf hinges.
PntPnl PlllILt.There reallyisn't
anything out of the ordinary about
preparingthe top andleafpanelsfor
a dropleafjoinl But tlere are a cou-
ple pointers that will ensure your
tabletoplookssood.
First, when choosingthe boards
for tle panels,it helpsto think of &e
tabletop as a single panel - not
three separate pieces.This way,
whenthe l€avesare raisedto extend
the tabletop,the grain pattern will
be consistentacrossthe panels.
The other thing to mentionis tlat
all the panelshave to be the same
thickness.The hinges are going to
keep the bottom facesof the panels
flush. So if the thicknessesafe dif-
ferent, you'll end up with a notice
able shoulderon top ofthe table.
ROUT PlOIlttS.Orce the panelsare
ready, fte profiles can be routed
around the edges.You can do ftis
either with a hand-heldrouter or at
tlrc router table.The top of the cof-
fee table (page6) wassmal enough
tllat I did this at the router table.

As soonasthe doorshadbeenadded
to the 1'€ll shetr,I just couldn'tcall it
a "shelf anymore- it had become
a display "cabinet" I don't know if
addingdoorsis enoughto dange drc
nane of a project,but they certainv
do changethe overallappearance.
The nice thing is, adding doors
doesnt complicatethe shelf proce
dure a that much.To make thines
easier,I did cut the hinge mortises
in the side piecesbefore assembly
(as shown in the box on page 15),
andI alsoaddedlhe ma8neticcatch-
es io the front mil belore attaching
the rail to the top piece (page 14.
Otherwis€,everlthing is drc same.
SlllilGTII 000t5.The two doors
are designedto be mount€dto the

I've found the biggest challenges

when I need to be able to make
some slight adjustments as the
pieces are browht together, or I
To keep the clamping pres$re
centeredon the edging,two things
car be done.Flrst, elel,?tingthe ply-
wood on a spacer strip aligns the
centerof the panelwith the head of
the clanp (FA. 1a).And s€cond,the
edgeofthe clampingblock is round-
ed to direcl tle pressureto the cen-
ter of the edging.
