Using dowels for hinging the folding shelves
If you can find a smooth metal rod,
this would make a more sturdy support. In the frames, drill 5/16"
hole to a depth of 5/8". If you don't have bit collars, a piece of
electrical tape can be used as a depth gage. Glue the dowels to the
frame piece.
With the side frame standards ready
to go, you need to recess both the side and end frame pieces for a small
brass hinge. Use either a chisel or your table saw to recess 1/16 to
3/32".
