Attaching a Company Board to a table.

I have never done this but have an idea… Put square saddle clamps under the table then have your company table with two long hardwood runners that would slip into the clamps, then a stop pin. Sort of like some baby high chairs with the removable, adjustable table…

-- Never board, always knotty, lots of growth rings

A square hole in the apron 8” back would not really be visable. I also like the idea of making a support sustem under the table where the company board slides in to hold.

I snapped a couple of pics of our kitchen table – store bought – that has the end-leaves I think you’re describing. I hope they upload ok, this is my first post.

the long runners pass through holes in the apron. they are secured with a sliding bolt, the type you typically use on a screen door, that slides into a notch in one of the runners (you can see it in the upper right corner of pic 3 above).

Hope it helps,

I’ve made a few tables as you’ve described and IMHO the aprons will be fine.
What hole size you plan on making?
