More Table Time

Photo below shows the table in the stowed position. Holding it up at the top is a brass window sash latch, which clamps down nicely and has a little leaf spring to keep it tight.

 

 The next photo shows the table folded down. The two pieces of cherry that are vertical in this position are structural members which will each have a length of angle iron which will butt up against the back of the bulkhead it folds from. I'm hoping that this will provide sufficient support, but in the event that is doesn't I can add a short amsteel tether on each arm to go to a pad-eye through bolted to the structural bulkhead behind. I'm hoping to get the bolts for the angle iron soon so I can find out if this will be necessary.
