So I am now getting around to fitting up this table to a standard where it will actually be useful. This involves getting it to move smoothly and without excessive play. This video is in 4 segments, I had planned on 3 but ended up doing 4, with the last being in a sense a non sequitur. ;-)

I did find that one of the problems is that they did not round over the edge of the side away from the gib and so that binds. Again I don't want to subject you all to me filing and grinding and so on for hours to get this right. 

The next video in this series will be made once I get all the incorrect fits out of the bottom of the table. I while making this noticed that the base may have had it's surfaces cut on an angle from the actual base surface, so I will be looking at flatness and out of square conditions.
