Yeap. I think some of the other clubs came to the conculsion that you need
2x+2 legs, where x equals the number of tables you have. This does seem to work
for most layouts, although if you wanted each table to be able to stand on it's
own, then you would need more.

Yes. The scrap gets used in making the supports for the legs.

I think we were going to use bolts, washers, and nuts. Then use cordless
drills and deep sockets to assemble them. Steve R was going to look into it,
and bring stuff to the next meeting. (This would also include the thoughts on
how to attach the barriers to the tables.) I believe he has now said that he
won't be able to make it, something about watching kids. So if he has figured
out something, I hope Chris will bring it along, and explain it to everyone.

I think some of the other clubs only go 40" deep period. While we intend to go
60" at the minimum, and 90" in the downtown area. So I think that was the
train (excuse the pun) of thought.
