(...) I have no problem with buying a table. I used to have a spare one - they are very handy things to have - but it got kinda "built-in" so it's not spare anymore. The only downside to people having and bringing tables is transportation. I have a (...) (23 years ago, 26-Apr-02, to lugnet.org.us.lucny)

(...) Hi All, I hope you don't mind me throwing in my experiences here. We (NELUG) were in much the same position about 1.5 years ago - do we build some tables as per a LEGO standard, or buy some. We ended up building ours, and I'll give some of my (...) (23 years ago, 26-Apr-02, to lugnet.org.us.lucny)

Shaun Thanks for your input. I've been thinking about it and it might be cheaper too. then going out and blowing 50 bucks on a table. 4x4 ft modules seems like a nice overall size. I would myself make some module design changes myself but that only (...) (23 years ago, 26-Apr-02, to lugnet.org.us.lucny)

Eric, Shaun - Thanks to you both for the table descriptions and clarifications. I think these tables are just the ticket. One more question, however...It looks like the edge-on view of your tables ((URL) and (URL) shows a 2x2 or 2x1 under the edges (...) (23 years ago, 28-Apr-02, to lugnet.org.us.lucny)

Looks like many table modules are based on Ben Fleskes' design over at PNLTC, and NELUG has adapted it. Surely, we won't start building without plans to work from, and I don't think anybody has started their tables yet at LUCNY, but good point (...) (23 years ago, 28-Apr-02, to lugnet.org.us.lucny)
