(...) Ah, OK. Check. Cool. Tony, what did you and Chris come up with on leveling tables. Do we need to scrounge up clamps to attach some of the tables to each other (I have one pair of spring clamps) ++Lar (24 years ago, 17-May-01, to lugnet.org.us.michlug)

(...) Shims (HD has a pack of 100 for like 4 dollars I think) under the legs to get the levels aligned, clamps to keep things well connected, and GATS supplies the skirt to hid all the details from the mundanes. Sounds like a plan. (24 years ago, 17-May-01, to lugnet.org.us.michlug)
