> What does bother me sometimes is how it can be difficult to get the tables setup exactly square. Despite best efforts, we always seem to be out of alignment somewhere which is why our baseplates do not always match up perfectly.
Kevin-
That's an unsolved problem for us that gets worse when we are in a hurry and as
the layout gets larger. When we are not rushed, we losen the bolts a little and
jiggle things until the square tables just fall into place. For our current
layout in San Diego, we locked things down as we placed tables becuase of the
rush to get ready for the complex ocean table stacking and ended up with an out
of square arrangement. It was acceptable, but not ideal.
In additional to "square", there's also level. I'm thinking of bringing a string
that can be pulled tight on one long edge. Or perhaps a laser level <g>.
