We have a plastic folding table that is similar to the design of yours.

The diagonal brace is folds in the middle. and attaches to the leg
about half way to the distance to the floor.

On most tables I have seen of this type the brace overlaps the pivot
pointÂ* (like an "X") and a ring slip over the joint preventing it from
collapsing.Â* With the slant of the brace the ring automatically slide
into position as the table is opened.

These folding tables are quite common and you can probably see one to
inspect at your local Church, store, or club house.

While your table will be quite sturdy, it will also be quite heavy
with about 35' of 2X4 plus the fastening.

The one handle handle may not be sufficient to lift it.


With our plastic table of about the same dimensions, it is quite
difficult and cumbersome to move folded table.

If you have a space problem, you could consider what my father did.

After making the collapsable table, he put an "L" shaped rail on the
side of his garage.Â* When he was finished with the table he would move
it to the rail, lift it onto the rail, and fold it up against the wall.

Thanks Knuttle, I'm not going to be using the handle it would just get
in the way; this thing will be too big and heavy to walk around like a
suitcase.
