    Ah I see so you effectively put it in twist. But ounce positioned the epoxy will have levelled this out for you won't it.

    That's a good point for Rob and others thou because while it may be obvious to others not everybody thinks that you need to start building from a FLAT level surface. It often pays out to spend a little time making a platform to work from or spend the time setting the bench level.!

    Yes, the fact that my top beams were bolted to the frame meant I could shim them to near as damn it level, then the epoxy on top was the icing on the cake so to speak.

    Good That's why I like the top rail adjustable, yes it needs to be done right and takes a bit of time but gives that flexabilty if or when needed. Said it so many times but I'll say it again it's that important I feel.!! . . . Adjustment is the KEY to successful DIY machine.!!
