Stil Bending

After buying plates, bolts and wing-nuts to make the table fold no further than 180 degrees, I did all the necessary things like taking out the middle screws on the hinges (because there are only two holes in the plate), counter-sinking the hinges and other things. I then tried the table. The table is able to stand but still bends in the middle.

 To overcome this problem I clamped a long stick to the table like so.

This made the table straight but you cannot make the the table fold or be portable. Some thought will go into this and hopefully I can make it work.
