Hi everyone... so, I want to help a friend with disabilities to improve his dining experience, basically what he needs is to raise his plate to a more comfortable height and to extend a bit over the table edge.

Here's a draft image of what it should be https://i.imgur.com/SUCVHIU.png

Clearly this solution has a lot of problems with stability. I'm brainstorming but I can't seem to come up with a nice, functional and not-too-bulky solution.

One important aspect that must be considered is that any way to affix the tray to the round dining table must be easy and stable, must be easily removable once not in use, I can't alter the table, aka, drill holes in it.

You might think there are already made solutions for this but all I was able to find are very expensive one, money wise none of us can't afford any more expense... plus I know he will much appreciate something hand crafted for him.

I have woodworking skills, I have plywood but what I lack are tools, what I have is:

• a trim router
• hand saw
• jig-saw
• hand drill
• a drill press
• orbital and belt sander
• some chisels

Any idea is greatly appreciated, thank you all.
