Here’s more images of the worktables. Mine are 2-5ft sections, 36″ wide connected together with a sectional piece. These are made from 2×4′s split lengthwise, skinned with masonite panels which are nailed and glued down. The legs’ panel framing slips into slots left open on the top’s framing (in red) The top and legs are attached with “L” brackets at the four corners.

The legs have nylon levelers, that swivel. The levelers have a hexagonal bolt that can be turned with pliers to level the table once it’s set up. The levelers screw into threaded nuts which are designed to be hammered into a pre-drilled hole.
