Knocked up a couple of these on the weekend for some mates.
If you hunt buff/banteng in Oz next year you may just see one in camp.

Very nice! They look great :)
 
Nice. Have you thought about a keeper for the latch hook when it's loose after rack is folded flat? Perhaps a buckled leather strap that also holds the two halves together when collapsed? Piano hinge is a sound idea. Adds rigidity. Box joints or dovetailed might be better than screwing into end grain. Screws have a tendency to pull free from end grain. Where did you find the brass hook hardware? Is the wood mahogany?
 
Very good. I’ve been wanting to build one myself and this only helps the urge along to fruition.
