Default Hey Bushpilot, and anybody else, table leg modification

Don, I saw a picture of your dinette on the facebooker. I too had the flimsey folding metal leg on my dinette table. I was checking out a guy's camper awhile ago and he had made a very nice leg for his table. So, I copied it. He's not on any forums that I know of so I can't credit him. I used some 2" square steel tubing and a piece of steel plate. Cut them and welded them together. Drilled some holes to screw it to the base of the table. Spray paint it. Then get a railing post thingy at Lowe's or Home Depot. Stain it to match, then poly it. I had to sand down the top several inches on all four sides so it would slide into/out of the 2" tube. Cut to a proper length. Put a felt table leg cushion on the bottom so it won't scratch the floor. Works great. Just slide it out when you want to convert the table to a bed.
