  • I took the brass with the template on over to the grinder. I started off using an 80 grit belt which cut through the brass very quickly. I kept going and worked right up to the edge of the design. I kept dipping the brass into a jar of water to stop it getting too hot.

  • I designed a template and printed it off. I used some 3M spray adhesive to stick this to the brass stock.

  • I started with a piece of brass bar stock. I wanted a super clean and minimal design for this rather than anything too fancy or intricate. The piece I got was 12mm wide, 3mm thick. I cut it down to around 250mm long. I can publish my template if people are interested, let me know in the comments below if you want a printable template.

  • I cut down a thin strip of plywood to use for supports. There are 5 pieces. The most important is a long piece attached to the back, right underneath the seat in the middle. The bulk of the weight pushes down here so this one is quite important. I also added some 45-degree mitres to this piece so the legs wouldn’t catch it as they swung open. Then there are two more on the outsides of each of the legs. At the bottom, there are 2 more thin pieces that help guide and secure the legs in place when they are up. These are not as important as the ones above, but they do help it feel a little bit more secure overall! I just used some wood glue and screwed these into place.

  • Next, I fitted the legs onto the base of the seat. So the seat folds up onto the back of the sofa. And on the underside of the seat, the legs fold out. I again used my self-centring drill bit to predrill the holes for the hinges and drilled them into the wood. These hinges are shorter than the long piano hinge, and each leg has 2 of them on.
