Cy, As Paul alluded to, I'd first suspect that the legs are not tight. If it's on thick carpet and thick pad under that, I wouldn't think the thing would move down there. This may be an opportunity to bring along a jack-in-the-box and take each leg off, one by one, and make sure each has tight plates, mated well, and seated deeply enough. We just remedied this type of thing on a 9' HF Miller that was swayin' in the wind, and it was a combination of loose plates, and a loose through bolt in the tail - the nut was up on top of the apron, tucked in there nicely. ;-] William R.
