Jeepney 2,201 Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 I don't think it will have a long live after a visit from a few heavy bodied guys! Link to post Share on other sites
Skywalker 19,177 Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 It's cute, if you don't have kids,and you don't weight too much, or have a predilection to over indulging in Red Horse. Link to post Share on other sites

Paul 55,114 Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 Saw this on fb and thought some here might be interested. TJ, are the plans included on that site? Link to post Share on other sites
SkyMan 23,692 Posted March 30, 2014 Author Share Posted March 30, 2014 It's supposed to have come from http://www.farmerspal.com/ but I couldn't find any plans there. Looks like you could just use some CAD software to come up with one on your own however large you want. As for sturdiness it depends on the designer and materials. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Davaoeno 37,484 Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 by the looks of the X legs- with what seems like no lateral support, I would expect the legs to break off quite quickly Link to post Share on other sites
Paul 55,114 Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 That was what I was thinking, when I asked about the plans. For bigger guys, I don't think this would work out very well. Link to post Share on other sites
Ozbrum 1,111 Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 Bigger guys =. Bigger timber, bigger fixings , bigger hinges... All is Relative 1 Link to post Share on other sites
thebob 18,260 Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 I think it is great. My only problem is that I don't have a wall! 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Headshot 29,349 Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 I haven't figured out how the table hinges on (or hooks to) the wall. The end of the table starts out at the base of the wall but seems to hinge a few feet up the wall. Come to think of it, the benches don't end up where they start either, but they have two sets of legs for greater stability. They would still have to be anchored to the wall though.

The end of the table starts out at the base of the wall but seems to hinge a few feet up the wall. Right, probably the biggest difficulty in duplicating this design. Must be some sort of pegs sliding up the rails or something. Come to think of it, the benches don't end up where they start either, but they have two sets of legs for greater stability. They would still have to be anchored to the wall though. O was thinking it might be better on the benches to have a way to lock the legs down and not attach to the wall so they could move closer or farther from the table for comfort? 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Mr. Mike 10,446 Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 Nice idea...one could paint "ivy" vines on the underside so when not in use it would look like a garden trellis...just sayin. Link to post Share on other sites

D_D 572 Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Right, probably the biggest difficulty in duplicating this design. I have built 3 murphy beds at my condos so far. 2 King and 1 queen. I used solid mahogany frames, flex and memory foam mattresses and big mirrors on the front with in up position They weigh a lot, but a small Filipina could raise it up and down with ease. A table is easy ! If I have time I can show you how to do it. Link to post Share on other sites
