  4. Using larger clamps and wood glue clamp the 4 -3" high legs (cut from 4x4 wood plank) to the corners on the bottom of the tabletop, if the middle of the table bends when force is applied attach an additional leg to the middle of the table
  5. Attach adjustable feet by drilling into the bottom of the legs using a drill bit sized according to the instructions on the adjustable feet packaging


  6. Sand off any residual wood glue on the table. It is especially important to sand down any imperfections on the table top or "rink" area to ensure a smooth playing surface for the pucks.
