       W0UN recommends getting some Delrin (sp? It's a special plastic) rod 
and turning it so that it'll slip into the leg tapered tops. Drill them for 
bolts, install everything and load 'em up. Delrin is supposedly pretty strong 
so there's no problem with what you're proposing. (I'm going from memory but 
I'm think I'm pretty close with the details.)
