thanks for your comment and hey, good ...Hi John B,<br /><br />thanks for your comment and hey, good idea! That would be convenient to have an Allen head cap screw or maybe Torx for that, especially if the table was a piece that was moved around a lot. In this case the table stays where it is all the time, but I'll keep that idea in mind for projects involving smaller pieces in the future.<br /><br />~CAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14328401081765407624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6261993076995357307.post-85373432597495030802013-06-09T12:41:41.473-04:002013-06-09T12:41:41.473-04:00Found this 2 1/2 years after the initial post, so ...Found this 2 1/2 years after the initial post, so not sure you will even see this. If you build levelers again, socket head cap screws are nice. Only have to lift the table the height of an Allen wrench. Reading this in Shanghai, found the blog while looking for a similar table. really, really nice work.<br /><br />John BeutellJohn Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11385885066225558444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6261993076995357307.post-381197273424734812011-02-18T19:36:39.332-05:002011-02-18T19:36:39.332-05:00Adam,

I hope the build continues to hold your interest as there are a few posts to go yet.<br /><br />gderamel,<br /><br />thank you - one of the rare occasions perhaps where Canadians can affect world geopolitics by way of furniture. <br /><br />John Deerman,<br /><br />the table is not as heavy as I suspect you may be estimating. I have done 'things' to lighten the table, and more steps in that regard are to come. I am thinking it will weigh around 100 lbs. As far as adjusting the leveler, that shouldn't need to occur too often, and I'm confident that it won't present an undue hassle for the client.<br /><br />I'm not so sure about the Festool drill - had one a while back and the batteries did not impress, so I sold it. They have neat accessories though. I haven't had any problems with my Makita so far, however if there drilling job is more onerous, I pull out a corded drill, or use the impact driver.<br /><br />Kane,<br /><br />I appreciate your comment - thanks! <br /><br />~ChrisAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14328401081765407624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6261993076995357307.post-8958354636568148492011-02-18T00:13:59.794-05:002011-02-18T00:13:59.794-05:00Thanks for posting this Chris, this really is wond...Thanks for posting this Chris, this really is wonderfully useful for transportable furniture.Kanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13816212357552999384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6261993076995357307.post-70404379014443053572011-02-17T23:29:46.002-05:002011-02-17T23:29:46.002-05:00Well done Chris.

If there is room in my next projects maybe I will spring for a Festool. Hmmm. The fit and finish on your levelers is exceptional. My question though is when the table is completed I imagine it will weigh a great deal. How easily will your client be able to lift the table to get a philips underneath to make adjustments? I just completed a table for a client roughly the same dimensions but in rustic alder. I added my levelers just as you did but then realized that to operate them would be to difficult so I had to cut small notches (large enough for fingers) for my client to adjust out the wobble without resorting to two men and a boy for help.<br />Thank you for the extra detail,<br />John DeermanJohn Deermannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6261993076995357307.post-88228464970119549522011-02-17T20:56:46.835-05:002011-02-17T20:56:46.835-05:00well done! nothing like some Canadian ingenuity on...well done! nothing like some Canadian ingenuity on ancient Chinese!gderamelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02566194540320085614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6261993076995357307.post-41187598969539684702011-02-17T20:35:58.884-05:002011-02-17T20:35:58.884-05:00Genius!
