Do you put leveling feet on it?

I'm working on a way to bolt the table leg to the base that would be adjustable and then just shim the bottom with rubber pads. Threaded adjusters would really ruin the clean look.

how about a threaded rod nut integrated into the bottom that will raise or lower the bottom of the foot

There is no place to hide it, Plus the foot will look likes it floating if raised to high.

But can you flatten it into a sheetmetal pattern to be laser cut.

The easiest way for you to do it is to add all the arc lengths from the edge.
Then calculate how many dimples you want in it. With the spacing then figured out, then design it in the flat.

There is a module for the CAD system I use, to take bent up sheetmetal and flatten it for pattern making but I don't have it. Its alot of $$$

Yeah that lower grade program we use has it, But it will not carry a feature designed after you flatten the part back into the part when you fold it. So I just put the holes in it when its flat and pretend until my vision is complete in metal. Eric and I are just getting slick with what can be done with the sheetmetal feature in Solidworks. We took want would be a few days labor out of that Chevelle chassis with that program.

yeah thats cool.
I have a sheetmetal module on my system but they charge extra for the forming/flatening module. It allows you to design in the flat and bend it, or design it then flatten it.

Keep playing with it you'll get better.
