I made a typing error on my original post, the extension wood piece is 5/8" x 16" x 4' not 4"

just make sure you use enough hinges if not one long one And attach a leg for support that would swing away when folded

agree. Try to google “gate leg table” for ideas or suggestions to proceed. I had a cabinet shop do a small job for me once. The guys did a great job, they were so nice, they didn’t want to even take money but I insisted.

I have a portable table that I use for freemotion quilting by setting it next to my larger table so the quilt is supported on the back the table. I also have a small extension table that goes with the portable table and sits to the right. Both can be folded up and put away easily. It might be easier to put a portable table (like a card table) behind your desk rather than go to all the work to add an extension especially if you don't have tools to do that.
