| got all the shelf braces and the middle legs installed. Tomorrow I’ll add the plates the feet mount on, clean it and Sharon will start painting it. We should have the lathe on the table in a couple of days.

I ‘m sure the shelf will be very comfortable and stable . I never understand how you can be sure that the leg will not be deflected to the left or right when welding. Is someone holding it?
The position and tilt of the leg is carefully measured, then it’s held in place with magnets or clamps.
Here’s a picture of a typical welding magnet holding a couple of pieces of steel
