I highly recommend putting this finish on the game because it makes it look better, play better, and you can add a personal touch. You need to use a high gloss finish so the bags will slide across the board. However, the board will be much better if you sand the top smooth and either finish it or paint it. You could actually call the board done now and go play. Finally just attach the hinges to the brace and the bottom of the board and you have your ultra-cool legs that your friends will all be jealous of. Cut a couple of 90 degree angles for extra strength and screw them on. Put an additional 2x4 and add it on top of the legs, remember to hack 1 1/2" off of the top of the leg so you can still have the proper 12" height. For the ultimate in cool, get 4 hinges, build a brace between the legs, and do what I did so the legs will fold away. Then you can unscrew them for easier storage. If you want, nail or screw them onto the board and you're done! Also, you can drill a hole into the side of of your 2x and use a bolt/wingnut combo to hold them on. Now you need to decide how to attach your legs. I'm going to try to get a friend to help me take a couple of pics and add them later. ![]() You'll only have to do this once because once you cut the angle, the inverse of the cut will be the proper angle for the other leg. Use the tabletop to mark the angle the board needs to sit on the ground flat. You'll need to hold the top of your table up exactly 12" off the workbench tabletop, and hold a piece of the 2x4 you have left up to the underside of the plywood. Now it gets tricky, and since I only have 2 arms I wasn't able to get a usable picture.
