But I'm getting a little better each project we try lol. The current table we have the top is an old butchers block and he made the legs out of recycled wood planks from one of their old family farm houses.
Haha I'm sure what I envision is totally different from what you have, but I see this:



If I posted a picture of our current set up, it wouldn't do it justice. We have an 8ft folding table. A local Chinese/Japanese/Korean/Thai/Vietnamese/Western restaurant (as pictured below) was throwing the table out and we opted on taking it. Turns out one hinge is rusted open, so it doesn't fold. On top of that the latch on the leg is basically welded with rust, which won't allow us to fold the legs in. To cap it all off, one of the feet on the leg that does actually fold appears to have been beaten off with a hammer, so it's about 2 inches shorter than the rest. Luckily, there happens to be a book, which I won't name at the risk of offending and infuriating some, that fits perfectly under the short-leg to all but eliminate and wiggle or wobble. I should also mention that the plastic has warped a little bit, probably from piping hot buffet heaters sitting on it, so pencils and dice tend to escape once in a while. The grease stains are simple cosmetic. Storage is a bit of a nightmare at times.

Spoiler!
