I want to make an extension table for my TS, somewhat like this one on woodnet (post by mbg in the middle) that looks like this :
except that I am thinking two legs (2x4 ripped into halves).
I shall be using the same folding hinges as him :
Question is - is there any functional need for the h/w frame on the underside of the melamine-top? I see he has screwed the leg/hinge directly to the melamine, so if I do the same but I could do away with the frame.
I could just use a single strip of wood to hold the piano-hinge.
You could also opine on whether it'd be better to screw the hinge to the frame rather than the melamine.
