I'm curious what you use for furniture pads. I just built a small table and while it's level on my table saw, depending on where i put it in the house, the feet don't all touch the ground. I don't like those stick-on felt pads because they tend to move over time, and are a little too firm. We bought some furniture that i think has leather glued to the bottom of each leg. I figure that's non-marring and can self level. Anybody use leather? What type and where do you get it? Other types that you like (particularly for leveling, not just non-marring).

Sorbothane (http://www.isolateit.com/vibration-isolating-sheets-pads-1.html?gclid=CLKt6pDU27UCFZE-Mgod-HMAOQ) would be my choice.

It can be trimmed with scissors.
I use BluTak poster gum, which is effective but will flow under heavy loads.

Another alternative is saxophone pads or sheet cork, available at your nearest musical instrument repair shop.
