Making a small lightweight table (single bed/sofa base) for the caravan

Описание: In today's episode Dad on a Mission and I team up to solve an annoying table issue by making a whole new table and re-purposing the old one (so it can go back into the van if we ever sell)! We use some clever tricks to keep weight down and reuse loads of left over timber we have lying around.
