Interesting adaptation of the roller stand to a different purpose. I am curious about what appear to be leveling feet, that have knobs on the upper end. Could you shed some light on those? What kind of leveling feet were used? How are the knobs attached so that they don’t just unthread when torque is applied?
When I built it, years ago, they are just what you think they are. Leveling the unit so that your work is flat on the rollers. The "wing" nuts are nothing more than a t-nut, jam nut, and a carriage bolt. It works well and the wing nuts are not really under that much of a load. There is also a t-nut captured in the legs/foot.
Jeff, I have the exact same roller stand I built, it must have been in one of the magazines a long time ago! Mine is still in use until I get an out feed table around ( hopefully later this winter)
Love the hinged ply...awesome solution!
Thanks Mark. I have used it a couple of times since and it works great.

Woodsmith Magazine; not sure which one but that's where it came from.
