You can't be as surprised as I was to see it up there, I had to find pieces of wood to level it and be careful to move the wood each time so it stayed balanced up there. Almost lost it once, and had to take the band out of the saw to prevent damage.
Then moving over toward the lathe which is a few inches lower and required more blocking to level again. All while keeping one hand on the bench top...
But it was, in the end, the best and brightest way to get it done, all in two nights with no accidents, no misdrilled holes, and no strained back (The most amazing part), and all by myself.
The legs fit in the holes perfectly.
