I've got a request for a coffee table that can raise or lower from 14" high to 18" high.
I've got the geometry figured out, but before committing to the final material I like to verify that details will work.
This is my test for a pivot bracket that'll be under the table top and let a leg frame pivot.
Twin tapered tenons into the underside. Fit is perfect and with a little glue it should never fall out.
Embedded nylock nut needs to be a bit deeper. Should keep the bolt from turning as the leg frame pivots around the bolt shaft.
Small parts like this are always a good challenge. How to clamp the board down to cut them out for example.
