Cyndy,

Sorry it took me so long to get back to you. I just got Joyce home from having carpal tunnel (spelling) done on her left hand. The surgery took 13 minutes but 6 hours from start to finish.

Here is a picture of my table as it is now. You can see where there is no stain to the left side of where the base is now. That is the way it came from the factory.

As you can see there are three midered strips there that make the two half of the table top move.

All you have to do is move the base over to the middle and screw it down to the middle strips of lumber. I did not drill pilot holes and had no trouble with spliting any of the lumber. But drilling pilot holes will not hurt anything as long as you don't drill them to deep or use to large a drill bit.

Let me know how it goes its really pretty easy hope the picture helps.

As always good camping

Jerry
