My basement is coming along so I thought raise this topic.

Here are some assumptions based on the tables made at last meeting.  Steve,
please correct where needed.

1 - 4x8 sheet 3/8 plywood   about $10
3 - 1x3 x10ft boards       $?
2 - 2x2 8 or 10 ft depending on desired height of tables.
drywall screws (length?)  does coarse thread work better than 'fine'thread?
total cost $29.xx

I am assuming 4 legs each.  Steve pointed out that when bolting adjacent
tables we can eliminate some legs.

This makes 1 30x60 table and one 30x30 table with perhaps a little scrap of
the plywood?

I didn't hear any solid ideas on the bolts.  Just carriage bolts, some
washers?  Or some kind of pins we don't need to screw on?  but we def. want
to make sure they can slide out!

little quicker I suppose.
