Module Construction

Using a common color for the first few inches at each end of the modules helps to integrate the segments in their many configurations. This might just mean using the same type of unpainted wood if left undecorated. Several sources recommend that flat paint should be used if painting surfaces (ends) that will be clamped to prevent them from sticking together, but a satin or gloss finish is easier to clean and more resistant to marks for the top surface of the table. Eggshell might be a good compromise.

Use 4” tracks to join raised sections (assuming a 1” leg support inserted) and 3” tracks when butted together on the floor.
