Nice job on that Andy. I was amused to see you hack a lump off three of the legs to get them the same size. Unfortunately that ain't guaranteed to ensure it's level when it's finally dun n'dusted (ask my how I know
) At the risk of straying into the egg sucking department, the way I do it is as follows. Glue up the frame inc the legs, even if they're oversized in the length. Find a dead flat surface (it
must be dead flat; a ci router table is ideal), place said wonky frame on the surface right way up and chock the legs with packing pieces until the distance from the top to the flat surface at each corner is identical; not critical as long as it's identical. Then procure a long sharp nail (ground to a chisel edge is perfect), bang it into a block of wood to make a scribing block; this is then run around each of the legs so that the distance from the nail line
above it is the height of the table and the waste is
below the nail line. Remove the waste on each leg to finish on the nail line and your table will sit squarely on a flat surface with no perceptible movement at the corners.
Profuse apologies if you're aware of this technique but it's guaranteed foolproof which personally is sometimes quite handy
