I had seen a design of a table (rodel inspired cherry table) on fine wood working which I loved and adapted it with the features of 2 pullout sections and also built it out of Red Oak. The center leaf is fixed to the apron, the top table top floats on 6 dowel pins. The table is 36 inches wide by 72 inches long and extends out to 132 inches long.

I have an idea how it works but not sure how you fit the stretchers onto the legs and also how the arms for the leafs are made and operate. Thanks for any help you can give me.

If you look at my last pic it shows the slides that are attached to the outer leaves. The end of the slides are under the center leaf when pulled out all the way. So when any downward pressure on the leaf, it will be supported by the center leaf because the fulcrum point is at the apron.
