The unfinished sanded "adjustable center leg stops" with spacers... (Click for enlarged view)

 

The picture above shows the "adjustable center leg stops" and their accompanying 1/4" plywood spacers before they are glued and clamped. As mentioned before the spacers will add additional room to allow the "adjustable center legs" to slide freely between the "outer main leg supports" of each leg with ease.

As noted on the previous page, the "adjustable center leg stops" will allow room for the "adjustable center legs" to be extended and retracted effectively. Additionally, these components will serve as precisely what they are called, as "stops", preventing the "adjustable centers legs" from being retracted beyond them. Nothing technical at all.
