My table has the wiggle problem. What size is that clamp you made? Thanks.

Like I said the clamp was made from stuff on hand.  If I remember correctly, it was a clamp for a 1 inch tube a large cable tie and some rope.  Since then I've replaced that with a small, maybe 3 inch, shelf support that I drilled and tapped into the compression post mounted under the table.  A small slit into the compression post vinyl cover and it's unseen.  Works very well, if I were to want to move the table it would only require removing one screw.

I would post a picture but it's on my phone and during one of the alleged updates I can no longer send from my phone to PC.  I hate the alleged updates, often creates problems for me.
