[Rhodes22-list] Table base location

[The Rhodes 22 Email List]

Ted:  That is ok.  I believe the table base in my cabin floor must have been like Richards; there to support the tabletop in the wide berth position.  
Now i know where to put it!  I too was thinking it would be really tight to try and use it in the cabin as a table.  Thats not to say a mini table couldnt be used in there though. Hmmmm. Thats what is so fun about DIY!
