Once I had evened out the legs to the best of my ability, I used the drill press to drill a 0.469" diameter hole into the top layer of the base for my magnets. The magnets were 12 mm in diameter, which equates to 0.472", therefore, the magnets were a press fit. The magnets were 3 mm thick, so I had to estimate on the drill press how deep to drill into the wood. On two out of the four holes, the hole was too shallow, so the magnet was a bit raised out of the wood, which created a problem for the table to sit flush on the base. Additionally, I had not glued the tabletop on to the legs yet so it made the angle of the legs even more warped then they originally were since the did not sit flat. I used a rubber mallet in an attempt to drive the magnets down further.
