This shows how our frame changed after the redesign. The wood colored parts are where we took off the long platforms that the bottom-mounts would have attached to.
The next two shots are of the same thing, just from two different angles. This shows the level issues that we had to deal with. The goal is to mount the extension drawers as high as possible, to make them as close to the bottom table as possible. As you can see in these shots, there will be a fairly large gap as it stands right now (~0.5"). You can see where we moved the long platforms, to the bottom of the frame. They don't really serve any purpose at this point, other than to provide stabilization. We moved them out slightly to butt them against the legs, which helps the wobble problem.
This is half of the bottom layer of the table top. The ibutton readers are going to be hidden under the oak crest, so a casual observer of the table will not know they are there. We drilled two holes of different diameters so the readers will sit perfectly flush with the top of the table, but their wires run from underneath. Looks pretty tight, eh?
Waiting for McMaster to ship us our springs so we can work more on the motor mount. Things are moving well.
