Grrrrrrr..... ! Getting the legs right!

The T nuts seem to do the job. Remember if you're not doing "table top" benchwork, but doing open grid or L girder for a long run for example, you can raise and lower the risers to make the track level even if the benchwork isn't. <br /> <br />I'd love to bolt the benchwork to the wall and eliminate the legs as suggested in an earlier post, but I had some water problems in my basement that were costly and time consming to eliminate. I don't dare drill wholes in that basement wall BELOW the ground level. I could end up modeling Niagra Falls! If I redo the layout at some point I might run studs vertically from ceiling to floor and attach the benchwork to them. I can't drill the floor for reasons stated above, but I could glue the studs in place on the floor end and nail them to the 2 x 6's above.
