Well you are right in that the bolts are not countersunk but that is because it
is not necessary. All of the bolt holes in all of the tables are going to line
up so the bolts will actually be used to hold the tables together.
You can't tell in the picture but those are 2.5" bolts so they are a bit long
for just holding a leg onto the table but that was so they could pass through
and hold the table and a leg together all at once. I plan on starting work on
Table #2 tonight and will post pictures when I am done of the two tables joined
together. That should give you a good idea of what I am doing.

Well of course the more the merrier. I also want to remind people that setup
for the train show is Friday December 1st in the evening so for us this is
really a 2.5 day event. As things get closer I will post more and more about
the show and what we need to do to get finished.
One thing we do need is a table skirt. If someone can research that a bit it
would be helpful. The skirt needs to be 29-30 inches wide and 40 feet long.
Of course it can be sectional and we can probably get away with some sheets cut
to size but if someone can see what it would cost for a real skirt it would be
appretiated. I would guess a party store and some department stores would have
these.
Thanks,
Eric Kingsley
