I made my table mounting system from two generic light pole bases of cast aluminum and a length of heavy wall aluminum tube (3½"). To my good fortune my electrical parts wholesaler had the bases on a clearance table and I bought the tube on ebay. The hand screws I used to tighten the tube in the bases (not visible in the picture because they're black and facing toward the lens) came from McMaster-Carr. The upper base under the table is through bolted with ¼-20 machine screws while the lower base at the cabin sole is fastened with eight #14 sheet metal screws. The table has a little movement due to flex of the fiberglass cabin sole.
