a rclaimed chestnut table with self storing leaves

this is another edition of our tables with self storing leaves 
we have made a few different styles using this concept.
above it is upside down with the runner guides shown 
and with the leaves stored under the top    
  
all in, ready to go ...right side up with the leaves in
it is now in stowe, vt with the walnut desk in the previous post
the cad drawing
in the shop with the leaves opened
there is another way to store the leaves that you can see
it is a simpler mechanism, but it depends on the top 'floating'
which is best accomplished on smaller tables
we have used both methods, but the one above,
while more complicated is better suited to larger tables ...
