What I'm going to do is cut one of the back legs an inch or 2 shorter, then screw an adjust leg-leveler foot to it. That's a very simple, practical solution.Steve Branamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10526202082032043903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3554186870925500720.post-65275476190991815672016-01-29T12:26:02.919-05:002016-01-29T12:26:02.919-05:00Is there another place where you might discuss how...Is there another place where you might discuss how to adjust the legs so that the table sits a flat surface? There looks to be some discussion of shims and trimming on the similar portable bench project linked to in this one. I'll be starting this project, this weekend.

Both of them are reasonably luggable; specifically, they can be thrown in the back of a van or car pretty easily.<br /><br />The other thing to remember is that my premise with this one was to be able to build it with minimal skills and minimal additional dimensioning work, using just what's commonly available at Home Depot as is (i.e. the pre-dimensioned construction lumber). So this one is cruder than the Underhill bench.Steve Branamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10526202082032043903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3554186870925500720.post-26059739051983864532014-04-18T20:36:32.679-04:002014-04-18T20:36:32.679-04:00Steve, I am amazed by your attention to detail wit...Steve, I am amazed by your attention to detail with this construction!<br /><br />I just came from your Underhill Portable Work Bench build (2010). From what I see, that bench seems more adapted to apartment living than this current rendition. Just looking at the folded size, it should be smaller. I also agonize over handling these brutes. <br /><br />After years of hacking home repairs, and building stuff, I still have no wood working bench. Substitutions have included deck floors, kitchen/dining tables, a driveway, and garage floor. You really don't need the traditional bench, but something does help.Bruce McCroryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08799576163791960138noreply@blogger.com
