Now that the castors are ready for final mounting, there is one thing left: mounting the small frame to the T-Box Proper. In order to achive this, the following tasks have to be competed: Wax the bottom of the T-Box, Position and clamp the small frame in place, drill all holes, clear all holes of sawdust, and finally, glue & screw the small frame to the T-Box.
First up: Waxing the T-Box Bottom!

| Ordinary Paste wax is used to finish the T-Box Bottom.... |
Waxing involves a fair amount of eblow grease, which I tired of very quickly! In desperation, I hauled out an old buffing pad, and attached it to a drill. The result was a nice finish, with less time and effort.

Now the bottom side has gotten the last waxing it's gonna get for a decade or so.... time to drill holes for the small frame attachment.
 |
| Small frame aligned and clamped in place. |
 |
| Inital hole location are marked. |
The tool in the previous picture is a device I call a "Port-o-line". Reasonable effective in drilling perpendicular holes....
 |
| Dowel hole drilled, with test-fitted dowels. |
Once the dowel hole were drilled, in inserted the dowels, so the frame would remain aligned during the drilling of all subsequent holes.
 |
| Assembly Compete! |
|
|
Once the hole were drilled, the frame was removed, and all dowel hole were cleaned of sawdust. The frame was then finally assembled on to the T-Box, including glue for the dowels. All that's left is to assemble on the castors, and place the table in service.

| Final mounting of the castors. |
 |
| Table in service. |
This was a fairly involved project, but resulted in a vast improvement in usability. The table can now be easily moved, cleaned under, and leveled. I look forward to using this setup for some time to come....
