Cannot get this thing near to perfect, slate seems to need to be ground. It is an old GC from the 60's or 70's with floating slates that are pinned. The question is where to start the slates. Someone told me you should start from the end rather than the middle like normal. Before I start grinding (stopping at a local granite place that does cabinets on the way in today) is it correct to start from the end?? Also, I assume I level from the high leg to the center legs and then to legs at the other end.
6/12 levelling

Over the years
it seems to have worn between the rails and center. It seems to be high at the rails and in the center.

I guessing he has a 6' by 12' table. Probably 4 or more pieces of slate.
This is
6' by 12' with 5 2" slates. Frame has some sway, but levels ok. When slates are put on is when problems occur. Looking down the table under a straight edge, it looks slightly like a flat "w".
