If you're buying folding legs from Harbor Freight, John, what are the vertical
wood pieces for? If the folding legs are similar to the legs on church basement
tables will they be sturdy enough to support your router table when you're
routing a project?
I've seen plans or articles for trestle tables that are held together rigidly
because of wedges tapped through open mortise joints. I'll look for that
material this weekend.
