- Need an easy way to fix a wobbly table? Try using some adjustable furniture levelers!
In this video, I demo how to hide these levels inside the table legs. You could also attach them directly to the bottom if you're not comfortable using a spade bit to drill into the table.

The finish on your table is absolutely beautiful!Great job!
Hey MMCC Workshop - thank you for taking the time and effort to produce this excellent, easy to follow, video tutorial on the installation of furniture levelers.
Glad it was helpful, thanks for watching!
Nice! Let’s give a shout out for the finish on that table top. WOW!!
Thanks Will! Gloss polyurethane for the win!
I used these in my farmstyle table build a couple months ago. Awesome Idea! Thank you for sharing Matt!
Thanks Dana! These things are so useful to have on hand!
“I’m the guy who did the floors so I’m not getting out of this one “ 😂😂😂
Gotta take the blame sometimes! 😆
@@mmcc_woodshop6288 you did a great job and actually taught me what I was looking for! Good man!
😂😂😂
AWESOME TUTORIAL! LEARNED A LOT, THANKS FOR THE STEP BY STEP...STAY SAFE
Thanks! Glad it was helpful!
Great simple project!!! Ha. I love how you just drilled into the table right in the house. This would be a make sure the spouse is gone before you start projects for sure. Awesome project idea.
Hahah thanks! That's exactly what happened, I got it cleaned up quickly! 😂
Awesome tip, especially how to hide the leveling feet. Nice looking table too!
Thanks Jon! Quick and easy but useful for sure!
Perfect. Thanks for showing different variations too!
For sure! Thanks for watching!
Love it ❤ what about a new table that rakes side to side? How could you fix that
Thanks! It is attached with hanger bolts and corner brackets? If the entire frame rakes or sways the bolts and brackets might just need tightened
Nice table!! Thank you. I will use this method to level my curing tray for resin craft
Thanks! Good luck with it!
Great job. Helpful. (And beautiful table. You made that? Great job!)
Thanks for watching! Yes, this was a custom piece
Nice, quick and useful video
Thanks buddy!
Thank You
Thanks for watching!
Nice - thanks - BTW sweet finish on the table...
Thanks John!
😂😂😂@ the guy who installed the floors. Thank for sharing
Couldn’t blame anyone else unfortunately! 😆
At first I thought it was going to look pretty hacky with random feet leveling feet sticking out of a beautiful table, but hiding them inside the legs was pretty genius, and unless your floor is atrociously out of level, it doesn't seem like they're very noticeable at all.
Of course I was looking into furniture levelers to use on the workbench I just built for my garage so I won't be doing the extra work since appearance isn't super important. I can't blame anyone but myself - I'm just not a woodworker, haha. Garage floor is pretty level.... The accuracy of my cutting might vary just a tad off.... okay, not a tad...more than I'm willing to admit. In any case, these things seem like they'll work great.
That’s for the feedback, exactly what I was going for by hiding them inside the legs!
Thank you soooo much for this 😊
Glad it was helpful, thanks for watching l!
Great video
Thank you
Thanks Joey!
Great job on that table top! Beautiful finish 👍🏻👍🏻 what did you use?
Thanks Andrew! It’s gloss polyurethane, here’s a link to the complete build video!

Great job!!!
Thanks Christopher!
Is there a way to ensure that the drilled holes are perpendicular to the bottom of the table leg? In the video, you can see that the holes were drilled at a slight angle. This resulted in the disk of the adjuster not being parallel to the bottom of the table leg. So the weight of the table is resting on the edge of the disk and not the full flat surface. Perhaps it doesn't matter, but for me, I'd like to know if there is a way to avoid this. Beautiful table BTW!
Hey Bob, nice observation. I’m not sure of a way other than just to try to hold the drill as straight as possible. You may be able to use a portable drill press drill jig, if the base would fit on the leg
@@mmcc_woodshop6288 Some drills (such as the one I possess) have a built-in spirit/bubble level, which you can use to ensure you're drilling at a near-perfect 90 degrees...but then again, for that to work perfectly, you will first have to ensure that the table itself is nice and level, in its topside-down position (legs facing the ceiling)...which means what, you need to also install these levelers on the top-side of the table (which is facing the floor when you're drilling the holes in the legs)? Catch-22 'eh?
The way I would do it is to lay the table (topside down) on an already levelled surface (I'm in the process of making such a gizmo, for epoxy resin applications to my amp chassis and turntable plinths), and then use the bubble level of the drill as a guide to get a near-perpendicular hole.
And btw, the levelling gizmo that I am making (for epoxy resin purposes), is already utilizing these levelers on the bottom of a piece of wood, alongwith a bunch of spirit levels on the top side of said piece of wood.
Thanks, guys, for the feedback. In my case, the legs are not yet attached to the table. But as you both mention, the problem remains as to how to ensure the drill bit is perpendicular to the flat bottom of the leg. Holding the leg vertically and level is its own challenge. Even building a contraption to hold it all together while drilling makes assumptions as to how each piece is level and positioned relative to the other parts. I'm surely overthinking this as I imagine that if the leveler is slightly askew, ultimately it will make no difference. The table only weighs a hundred pounds so it's not like the pressure on the leveler will be huge. Interesting discussion though. 🙂
I need some advice I have a gaming Lshaped table and Im on the second floor which is carpet or shakes even tho I put it against a wall what should I do should I remove the leveling feet?
The leveling feet should help if you can adjust them. The simplest solution would be to just place a shim (cardboard, paper, etc) underneath the foot/leg that sits up off the ground to level it out
What vacuum is that?
It’s a festool CT 48 E HEPA, here’s the link if interested!

You did not tell us the smaller drill diameter beyond the 1,5 inch.Lets figure out if this is a secret?
I used a 1/2 drill bit in the video. Depending on which set you use, you just need to oversize them a little further than the width of the bolt itself so that the lock collar will fit down inside
