Step 4Drafting Table Top
To make the drafting table top, draw a line 8" from the top and 10" from the bottom of the table top.
Pre-drill the edge of the table riser (plywood will split if you try to put a screw into its edge without pre-drilling it). Line it up with the top line, and screw it in from the top of the table using 1 1/2" screws. By adjusting how close the riser is to the top edge, you can change the angle of the drafting table.
Line the door hinges up with the line that is 10" from the bottom, and screw it in using 1/2" screws. You can go up to 3/4" pretty safely, but anything longer will poke through the table top.
Next put the drafting table on top of the door and screw the hinge into the edge of the door using
1 1/2" screws. Place the drafting table top in the location that best suits you.
