    Re: Possible BOO BOO —Shaun Sullivan
   (...) 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 (...) (22 years ago, 26-Apr-02, to lugnet.org.us.lucny)
   
        Re: Possible BOO BOO —Wayne Sardullo
     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 (...) (22 years ago, 26-Apr-02, to lugnet.org.us.lucny)

         Re: Modules, Can You Help? (Was Re: Possible BOO BOO) —Ed McGlynn
      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 (...)
