Hello,
I am just about to router a circular hole near the middle of a large
modular table. (Built based on Bens design) When I built it, I modified it
for this purpose, I did not place a crossbrace in the middle, but rather put
crossbraces at one third spacing along the length of the module. I then
screwed a small piece of 3/8 plywood to the bottom of these crossbraces, it
will be on this base that my roundtable will reside.
Hopefully sometime in the next few weeks I'll have the time, (and the
courage!), to cut this large hole in one of my tables.

| (...) That's my next plan (using a router to cut the hole). I just have to decide which plan to follow; 1) to put the turntable onto the table completely, and redesign the size and shape of the round house (cutting one whole hole). 2) put the round (...) (26 years ago, 2-Dec-98, to lugnet.trains)
