No need to spend a lot on a tailgate table!!

[Isle of Wight Paul]

Made this for the tailgate on my station wagon. Hope it might inspire others if in need of a project for evenings and weekends. Cheap to make, no rattles and perfectly functional.

I let AI design me a field secretary.
The measurements are guessed by me so don’t look at them.
Nevertheless I like the design.

Majestic! Sustainable timber? Honduras mahogany with high chatoyancy perhaps?

You say no need to spend a lot of money, but if I had done that it would look more like Homer Simpson had done some DIY, I went for the paid option by Bison

Post in thread 'Inexpensive rear door table $88'

It's on and done. I thought about taking pictures but they will look the same as @Krbrown68's, so there is little point.

A few hints and tips, from someone who has not done it as well as is possible:

• The table will use the middle 4 top bolts holding the door trim on to the Grenadier door and the accessible corners on the table. Check before you drill the table.
• Mark the new holes required carefully and secure the door trim to the back of the shelf with tape and use a centre punch, (not a nail - someone has nicked/borrowed my punch set). The better the set up the easier it...
