Good luck
Roger.... How "level" and how "square" do these have to be? Plus / Minus what? 1/32nd? Just asking. I agree with your statement - if you can build a frame - you'd better be capable of building a square flat level table...

One of the things our club has done is to have "tech sessions" - the welding ones are the most interesting to me (I'm the "instructor") as most people have no idea of the warpage they're causing - and how to control it - etc... they can stick two pieces of metal together - but that's about it... It's fun to watch their faces when you check their work.
