Sorry to get off subject again,,,,,, but,,,, CATS RULE People who don't like cats are just afraid for some reason. If you have an allergy, I completely understand.
Anyway, back on the subject, for building. My wife found me a very nice, used, free, steel case table (extremely sturdy, and Heavy), 4' * 3', * 29" high. I use that for basic building & cutting. I have a 24" * 36" Hobbico cutting mat on top of that. For building wings/fuses, building off plans etc, I have a 80" * 24" * 1 1/2" board that I got from Home Depot (kinda like a door). On top of that I attached a cut to size piece of 1/2" insulation board/material (easy to pin plans, balsa etc). I also have an A-Justo-Jig attached to that. I just plop that board on top of my steel case table. Like I said b4 I have to put everything away at night, so the board, plans, and whatever I'm building, is easily transported to a closed room where that cats can't get in. So that's how I do it, in an apartment with 3 cats....... and no "accidents" so far,,,,, even though they try
