I built the wood lift table. Instead of the pipe I used 1 and 1/4 inch square tubing from Lowes. Two pieces 4 ft long. I got four 3 foot 5/8 inch round steel rod. I cut the square tubing to 2 foot lenths abd drilled 5/8 inch holes at each end. I drilled 5/8 inch holes in the top and bootom of the table where the piples would have gone. Slipped the roods through and walla. Will post pictures as soon as Painting is done. Tested the lift last night. Works like a charm and no fear of threaded joint failure.
