I plan to convert this table in such a way that I can make it fold flat and assemble easily. Any ideas how to make it collapsible and quickly assemble.
For the moment, I have to remove all 8 screws to collapse it, that takes a lot of time. Thanks!

Use the catches that hold bed frames together. They just interlock over each other.
I do not know your weight requirements on this but you could machine a block of wood or aluminum to fasten it to the leg but have space to allow the leg to slide over the sides of the table edge. Machine two faces to the thickness of the table. For example, lets say your table side is two inches wide on the side. Make a block about 2 1/4" or 2 1/2". Machine (remove material using tools as needed. Saw dado would work on wood) on two adjacent faces 2" down on the the face to the thickness of the table side. Now fastened the blocks to the legs with the gap towards the leg. You now should be able to just slide the leg onto the table. Richard
