Saloon Table Upkeeper

Turning on the Table

Inconsistent upkeeping has been the downfall of my saloon table.   Many times. 
A few weeks back, it downed yet another Guiness,  and I resolved that it would thereafter remain remain upstanding. 

Proof of concept

Trial Fit in Mahogany

Finished upkeepers

Should be self-explanatory.  These were made with some scrap mahogany door jambs that were on my wood rack.
The ends were fitted to the table support struts and a 3/4" diameter rare earth magnet was flush fitted into the backside of the piece, behind the knob.
A plated steel disk was set flush into the plywood table side, opposite the magnet, and in two locations - one to secure the upkeeper when in use, the other to store it when the table is folded. 
Works better than I could have hoped.
