This is the base ( 33" x 48") for a 6' x 10' banquet table.  The

top of the table was entirely covered with 3/8" thick glass, which

over time, wicked water to the underlying veneers,  twisted the

feet and destroyed the casters.  I've advised the client to let me

refinish the top in Krystal - it's in a hotel- and remove the casters

from the brass feet.  To make up for the reduction in height, I

plan to build a plate between the base and the top.

 

Now to the thorny part....any ideas on how to straighten the

feet?  It's laminated, which is fine for making a curved leg to

support 60 sq ft of table top, but I can't figure how much torque

it would take to put it back straight.  Or should I even try to

straighten?  It'll sit better without the wheels either way.

 

Thanks!
