Hey James,

I thought of a cam action tightener on the table to leg connection. But dropped it as I thought  if I used an off the shelf type unit, was thinking of bike seat tube clamping bolt, the force needed would excessive. A longer arm in the clamp would make it workable but that would take more fiddling around than I was wanting to do at the time.

Cheers

Alistair

I just made a different knob that you can crank a little harder on, and then the table doesn't move. And yes it's easier to undo as well.
