I have hinges on plywood on top of my plaster wedging table. It is up when =
I
am wedging and down when I need a work table.
I also use either milk crates or the recycle bins as table legs. I put a
piece of plywood on top to make a work area. This is good when I am glazing
and need lots of room for a short time.
I have attached a pic of my wedging table. Hopefully I did it correctly. I
am a potter not a computer technician
Let us know how you make out
