[Rhodes22-list] Table base location

[The Rhodes 22 Email List]

I purchased one from Walmart and cut it to length then used a plumbers
crimping tool to taper the cut end to fit into the base. Before I started
using this I ripped the screws out on the end battens a couple of times and
ended up through-bolting with giant washers to spread the load. Maybe I
should lose some weight!
