Can you talk about the pros/cons of using wood glue to make it stronger, and whether top/benchwork needs paint for stability? Your recs for tabletop material? Is homasote necessary with unitracn? Thanks!
Glue adds strength but makes making changes harder. Sealing your benchwork with paint or stain really depends on your climate. In most cases it’s unnecessary but it’s done for aesthetic reasons. 1/2 sanded plywood or better is what I recommend. Homosote should only really be used for O gauge if at all. It’s really a relic of the past at this point.
I offer legs in 30”,36”,40”and 48” standard heights. I don’t recommend legs over 40” as they get unstable but I’ve made legs as tall as 57”. Email me for details
Most people don't use them so I don't include them to keep table prices down. They are available as an add on and listed in both the leg and accessory categories in my store. I also have wheels available as an additional option.

You make it look so simple. I have no talent for building. This reminds me of the old “Erector Set” thatI had when I was a kid. Great work.
I was just looking through your website. This is great for people that do not have the space for woodworking tools.
Wow very nice, thank you.
very, very clean
Thanks nice and simple. Wow.
Can’t see what you are screwing together. You should show a close up shot. I can’t follow this.
Reshooting this video is on my to do list. It’s about 8 years old if I recall.

How tall are the modules? I would like it if they were 48” or even taller. It makes it easier to get under the table.

No levelors?
