A followup: We straightened it with a hydraulic

jack and chain. Welded

three 6x3 steel channels underneath to keep it

straight, using jack as

each support was welded. Right now, the worst

un-straightness across

the whole table, is no more than thickness of

one credit card.

Channels underneath? Would have been nice to know that in the OP,



Well, we added the channels to straighten that table.



eih? ;)} We went off on all kinds of wild tangents on how to do

it.... heh heh... but it was fun and you got the table flat! Good

thing you just went ahead and did it the way the guys in the shop

wanted to do it. phil k.



It worked out pretty good. After straightening, the most

un-straightness was the thickness of a credit card.

That's not the point you ****ing asshole and you know it. I hope one of these days one of the guys who works for you has enough of your bull**** and lets you have it. No one deserves it more than you do.
