Hello
The question I have is somewhat off-topic and may well be better asked
in the wreck. I hesitate to do so though. I want to build a table.
It will be approximately 7' - 8' in length and stand about 32" - 36"
high. As horizontal surface in a workshop tend to be prime real
estate for all manner of squatters I have already dedicated it to only
two purposes. One purpose will be a home for the 2 or 3 grinders I
have. Being immediately behind the lathe, convenience is good.
The top is laminated and the material itself is MDF (I think). My
question concerns the legs. My three previous attempts at putting
together something like this have always resulted in uneven legs.
That is, the tables rock. Is there some trick to getting all four
legs to rest on the ground at the same time. Note I have no table saw
(shop too small) and only a band saw and circular saw. Any advice on
tips will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

I have done a few of these and found that devil has a way of screwing around
with you:

1) The bench which was rock solid in the place where it was assembled was
wobbling when moved to the place it was actually going to live. Uneven
floor...

2) The bench which was rock solid one day became wobbly two days later -
humid weather.

Many good solutions have been suggested. I solved the first problem by
placing the shorter leg onto a caulking silicon blob and let it set. It
cured the problem overnight.
