We learned this when I made her cutting table. It took a long time and a fair bit of work to get the extension solid. This time I'm going for better materials but I also think I'm going to use a different brace mechanism - one that's more vertical than horizontal (I should have thought of this on the cutting table but I _assumed_ the piano hinge would solidify things. Wrong!)
