Fine Woodworking’s Tilt-Top Tea Table Plan

This table has a round top that pivots on two pins so it can be brought vertical and stored against a wall. Commonly known as a wine-tasting table, this design was inspired by a piece from the late 1700s, but Will Myers gave it some modern touches–a larger top, a more modern shape to the feet–and used cherry instead of the traditional pine. Construction is not difficult, and it can be made from hand tools if you desire.
