Exclamation Folding Table Design

I'm a band dj and i would like to customize a folding table that would fit one turntable and a mixer. I'm thinking of a portable folding table which is durable enough to resist vibration and won't shake everytime i do my scratch parts.

Comments and suggestions are welcomed. If you have links or sites that has answers to my inquiries, please post em. I would highly appreciate it.

Many thanks.

Banquet table legs are quite stable. You can buy them as a separate item in a couple of grades of quality. You can mount them to almost any sized piece of 3/4 inch plywood. The table would be more stable if it were heavier and more square or round.

Hope this helps.

I've built a couple of special purpose tables using banquet table legs and they worked great. I would suggest using plywood - not particle board - for the table top. The attachment screws hold better.
