Just a suggesgion on the casters... I built two identical frame tables last winter, and i had decided to buy two different sets of casters for them to test them out. The HD inflatable casters that they sell at harbor freight and northern tool and even ebay... they are junk. They say they can hold 1000lbs each, but the just bassicly deflate and are a pain in the ass to roll around, its nice when you have like 20psi in them, but thats 18 over what they reccomend lol.
I ended up switching to the hard composite casters, 5" diamiater, and LOVE them! i can push the table out of the shop, and down my gravel drive way with ease.

Thanks for the tip Taylor! I was planning on using something heavy duty for when I have to move the table. I plan on mounting the casters off the side of the legs with the bottom of the wheels just under the bottom of the legs. That way when the adjusters are all the way in the wheels will touch the ground, ready to move around, and when the adjusters are out the casters will be off the ground, leveled and ready to build on. I have heard of people just using the casters to screw in and out to level, but after sitting for any period of time with the weight of the table and whats on it, they develop flat spots and are a pain to roll around. Any supplier or part numbers for the castors you are refering too?
