No, seriously, just don't worry about it.
Paul and I spent a long ass time last night getting the extensions mounted into the frame. Initially we thought it would just take a bit of sanding. We sanded juuuuust enough off of one slider to squeeze it into place, but something didn't feel right. There was just too much friction in the sliders. Paul insisted (correctly) that this was due to the extension being too wide and compressing the sliders against the frame. So we sanded/jigsawed the extensions until they fit perfectly. This was a very iterative process that look a couple hours. Now the sliders are in and look fantastic. A little lube should have them ready to go.
Reconfigured the supports a little to try to cut down on some of the table shaking oscillations. The new configuration seems to have damped the motion, and we're pretty sure that when the table top is in place, the extra mass will help as well.
The next step is to work on the extension deployment system.... kinda wish we had a cool acronym for that. Submit something good.
Also, does anything I describe make sense if you can't see what I'm talking about? Make use of that little comment bar at the bottom. Go ahead, just try it.

You need more pictures. To show your progress. I understand the issue that you had, but would like visuals as well.
