Sounds like you were good this year and Santa took notice! I don't know what you're storing underneath the table, but did you consider making a framed shelf to support the legs, but adding some steel dowels (or tabs and bolts) on the backside that would act as hinges (allowing you to fold the shelf down for room underneath)? Just a thought. Remove a couple of pins or bolts, then pivot the shelf down between the back legs (out of the way). Or what about boxing the sides and back of the table legs near the bottom, but leaving the front unbraced?

For what it's worth, I use a pair of welding magnets to square legs on projects, one 90 degree magnet on one side of the leg, one on the other side rotated 90 degrees. Three way clamps can be pricey and I'm not sure that the cheap ones are worth the (cheap) cost. If I'm welding thin wall tubing, I cut the ends square with my (used and abused) Wiss airplane snips, but you certainly can't cut anything past 16ga. with those! Your table looks good Agent. I like the idea of putting things on casters too...every tool I own (practically) is on wheels for easy moving!
