Today I need to level and mate the two main bench modules just built. This will be easy once I cut a couple small blocks of 1" x 3". Where they meet in the middle.....just need to raise the inner legs on both tables about a half inch or less......then with screws already set part way into the block.....attach block to both legs in front middle and rear middle. Then she be permanently level.
After those are level then the left and right extension platforms can be added.

Hi Mike,
I may be misunderstanding what you were describing so I apologize if I am.
I'm not quite sure just where your placing the 1"x3" blocks but the logical spot would be across the joint between the two tables but for structural strength both in tying them together as well as ensuring they maintain the height of either table they should over lap each table by at least 6" with at least two screws in each side preferably 3 on each side is even better to ensure the alignment as well as structural strength.
