Off on your carpentry gig again eh?
| BTW, you might want to check any remaining legs. Even the good ones could
| well be near worn out by now. See if they wobble. If so, use some good
| carpenter glue and screws (not nails) if necessary. And remember, every
time
| you move a table, it puts stress on the legs, if you don't lift it
| completely off the floor. This usually takes more than one person to do
| correctly.
|
| Unless it's a small table, of course.
