Looking for ideas for a small folding shelf. Just big enough to hold our crock pot.
Like to run crock pot for 7+ hours for some things, and want a foldable shelf, just outside the kitchen door, in the garage. Keeping the heat out of the house is in the summer.
Thanks for any ideas/pictures

There are lots of options when you Google "fold down shelf", such as:  this.

Thanks. I was more interested in shop built shelves.

Buy brackets; build the shelves.

I have some I built for my deer blind, use them as a handgun rest.

Might take a day or 2 but, I'll get pics or make a drawing.

FWIW, They are 1 1/2" thick when folded.

Finally got some pics...

I used some cheap cabinet door hinges that are screwed to the faces of the shelf & backer board.
