  Re: Table Legs (was Re: Bridge & ideas (for GEMTS 2001))
 
(...) Ahem, well, okay then:-) First off, I will say that there is no current "standard". The GMLTC used 30"x45" tables for our last layout (actually just a skosh longer on each dimension to avoid module buckling). This size is convenient because (...)
