Thanks for posting that link, Troy. It looks to be a handy mod. Is there
any text that goes with the pictures? I have a couple questions:

The picture "Bottom End of Table Leg" shows a nylon insert in the end of
the table leg -- is it removed or kept?

2. What's the diameter of the Guide Rod?

3. Photo "Problem Area.JPG" -- Loren, what happened there? I don't think
there were any mods done to that hole, were there?

This actually worked out better for me as I took a 1 1/4 inch dowel rod, and shape it down to 1 3/16 to fit inside the table leg with minimal amount of movement. I think the whole thing took maybe 40 minutes. A very worthwhile modification in my opinion, and just want to take this opportunity to thank Loren for posting the detailed pictures on how to do the modification. Pretty simple idea, but it works extremely well! No more lopsided tables, and it makes getting to the storage "cubicles" below the table a breeze, without having to completely moved the table out-of-the-way.
