Has anyone constructed one? If so... Plans would be helpful. I can't afford the $400 for the Lefler table, but there has to be a way of constrcuting something similar for less.
Seems to me that death is just natures way of telling us to SLOW DOWN!

I built one several years ago but I had a Mak table at the time. I used it to make mine (and make the needed improvements.) Do you know anyone that would let you look theirs over to check out the dimensions and construction methods?

Magic, Inc. of Chicago is still publishing "The Table Book" and has even added on a second volume. Both books are full of plans for building magic tables of all types.

There are plenty of table designs in the two volumes of "The Table Book" but none that I would consider to be a suitcase table.

If your definition of a suitcase table is the Lefler Pro Table, then there are several designs in Book 1 of "The Table Book" that could be adapted with little effort, such as the "Travel Table" on page 10 - add a carrying handle and locks, The Utility Roll-On Table on page 12 - same fix; The Utility Stand on Page 25; The Gambling Expose Case on Page 27; August Roterberg's Suitcase Table on Page 40 - no detailed plans, but enough clues to make it; Act Packed Cases on Page 44.
I don't own a copy of Book Two of The Table Book so I can't provide more examples, but Book One has more than enough designs to keep a person well tabled for awhile. This IS, after all, the workshop section and everyone in here ought to be able to add a carrying handle and some locks to convert what basically is a box with shelves into a suitcase table.

At the Canton Magicrafter's meeting yesterday, there was a table that looked exactly like the Lefler Pro Table. Its design came from The Table Book, with the mentioned addition of a handle and locks. They said that the materials added up to about 100$. It was made from half-inch wood instead of three-quarters-inch wood to make it lighter. It looked very good.
