The count is 6 large and 6 small, including the large table with the hole
for the round house, and the small table with the trench for the elevator
and the sunken small table originally for a small port.
Half the tables are still in Edmonton at my parents place.
Anyone interested in a work bee to build another 2 or 3 sets?
I could easily cut all the 1x2 needed on my table saw in St Paul, and bring
the small pieces to Edmonton. Someone there could get the plywood cut in
the 2 larger pieces from each sheet. Everyone who owns a drill would meet
in someones garage and we could build several sets in a day. Someone would
then have to paint them, a major pain, because the green needs 2 coats, plus
the primer. The legs are very labor intensive, and I still haven't finished
the legs from the tables I made last year. I believe that the PNLTC guys
have eliminated the attacheable legs, due to the long set up time. If we
could somehow use folding legs that would save a lot of time, both now and
in the future. Steve could you post to the IOLTC asking them about their
current table standards?
I don't have a problem making them by myself, but it is the storage issue
that is proving to be a major thorn in my wifes side. I would appreciate it
if someone would atleast offer to paint them, if I end up making another
couple of sets in St Paul. And someone needs to store them.

| As everyone knows, I don't have a garage. So, no carpentry party at my place, unfortunately. But I would be able and willing to do all of the painting.
