repair of old table

Thank author of this post/commentThe question is;What would be the best way to fix down the top of this table?

Ill be lacquering the table but I need to fix the top down before I finish sanding it to get a flat top.

It has quite large holes from where it has been fixed before, with 6.5 brads i think. So I need to use the same holes to fix again.

Im thinking either put the brads back in OR screw it and use pine plugs not sure if this is a method used in furniture repair but it would fix it strongly and cover the old nail holes.. Is there a better way, what do you think?

Have an old drop leaf table with two center leaves and swing out legs to support the drop leaves.

the leaves are a bit warped and the table top and leaves are laminated strips of ?maple??

It was nice once and still might be fixable.

Some of the laminated parts are spreading and I don't know how to clamp them back to glue them together.

Tried a furniture clamp on one of the leaves, but much force did not get the opening closed enough.

I'm reluctant to soak the wood before learning more from you'all before mucking it up!

There are two swing out legs to support each drop leaf and one is missing, so will have to build one.

No Maker info on the table, only some cryptic numbers written with (possibly) a Sharpie marker.

No veneer on this, so I've started to sand off the detris of years, but stopped now as I don't want to muck it up!

Could send photos, but I'm stuck for now!

I usually never ask for help, but...

Help?
