Solution!!!!

I consulted my family about my problem and a solution was given; to put fold down legs in the middle of the table. To do that I needed to make some legs. Each of the legs consisted of three pieces of wood, two hinges, nails and screws.

 They worked a charm (but not before a bit of tweaking). The next job was to paint the table. To start off I was just going to do the first undercoat of paint.
