Haven't built the legs yet; it's sitting on an old worktable for now
in the workroom in the basement. Still need to work out the details
of how I'm going to to do the feet. My garage floor isn't level, so I
need to figure a way to rig vertically-adjustable locking casters.

Use 4 x 4's and put the casters off to one corner. Drill a pilot hole for a
3/8" lag bolt. Roll the table where you want it, then use a wrench to back
the bolts out, till the weight is sitting on them, instead of the casters.

Yeah, I'd thought of that. I'd like to find a solution that doesn't
require me to crawl around the table with a wrench, popping up and
down to see if it's level yet. Hard on these old knees. G I'd
like to use locking casters rather than jacking the table off the
wheels. Still need to think on it some more, but I've got in mind
making a moveable "foot" at the bottom of the leg. The foot would be
adjustable vertically, probably riding on a threaded rod for a
jackscrew. The locking caster would be at the bottom of the foot.

The idea is to be able to put the table away at the end of the day,
leave room in the garage for a ground vehicle.
