 | | Poor Mans Work Table
|
| The following work table was my Sundays project. For starters I use to build on a 3/8 inch 4x8 board layed across a printer stand and a old desk. To say the least it was very flimsy.

| (...) Nice table Brad! I had an idea I might try if I ever make a work table, top it with that non-skid foamy padding stuff. That way bricks don't go sliding all over. It's a little pricey, and finding a big roll would be a chore, but I think that (...) (23 years ago, 13-May-02, to lugnet.build, lugnet.general, lugnet.storage, lugnet.space)

| Nice Table Brad, I use a similar sized table for building on except mine is built on two hollow core interior doors. You can pick one of these up at a lumberyard for about 15-24 dollars (US).

| I too really like your table edge- keeping pieces off the floor is important with cats with a chewing fetish. Has anyone thought of putting a 'funnel' or 'pour spout' on their table?

The hard surface is good for sliding pieces off the table, but the tile and front board kind of make the bottom ones get stuck. What could be done is to have a small (...)
