(...) Great, that chop saw will make quick work of the framing. (...) If we have a circular saw, a jig could be built to make quick work of the triangles, otherwise, a jigsaw would be the best way to go. If we don't have a circular saw, it may be (...)

Sounds like a good idea. June 17th is out for me, but I think every other date is ok. I have a 4x8 table already, but I'm sure the length of the legs is wrong. I think they're 3ft+plywood thickness, and the screws poke out. Changing to new legs (...) (26 years ago, 4-May-00, to lugnet.org.us.nclug, lugnet.loc.us.nc)

Excellent comments - let's keep a good dialog going. I am okay with ZNAP - I bought four sets for the sole purpose of building some sort of bridge. My efforts are on a smaller scale though as my bridge is only four pieces of straight track long. I (...) (26 years ago, 3-May-00, to lugnet.org.us.nclug, lugnet.loc.us.nc)

My chop saw can cut 4'x4's. It's got a 10" blade. I don't have a circular saw, but it's fun to buy power tools, so I may look into picking one up if no one has one now. The module plans are at: (URL) looks like there's no glue, only screws (although (...) (26 years ago, 3-May-00, to lugnet.org.us.nclug, lugnet.loc.us.nc)

Sounds like a good idea, though one problem I have right now is that I would have no place to store tables, but would like to own some. If someone had space to store my tables, one advantage would be that we would have a set of tables which don't (...) (26 years ago, 3-May-00, to lugnet.org.us.nclug, lugnet.loc.us.nc)

Sounds great. If I can arrange to be in town for the June/July date, I'll gladly participate. I have plenty of straight track and points that I could bring for a trial garage setup and a show. My current layout is 3 4'x8' tables that hold as much (...) (26 years ago, 3-May-00, to lugnet.org.us.nclug, lugnet.loc.us.nc)
