Default RE: Workbench Top?

tfouty,

I don't know what went wrong but my computer mnessed up my post and even put a wrong picture in it. I have two work tables. My primary table for building my Giant scale Warbirds is MDF with Elmers foam board duct taped down to it to hold the T-Pins. It is 3.5'x8'. My secondary workbench for working on smaller planes and for building smaller parts of my Warbirds is a Oak hollow core door with the foam boards. The foam boards I get at Walmart. They are 20"x30" and cost less than $3.00. Both sides have a thin vinyl coating that doesn't adhere to CA very easy. This table is 32"x6'8" and is in a seperate room of my workshop. Now I will try to send those pictures again. Oh, the frames for both table are made out of 2x4 studs and are very sturdy. I store more kits under them. The one picture above is my 1/8 scale F4U-1D Corsair on my cutting table. The smaller table in the second picture has my 1/4 scale Don Smith F4U-1D Corsair plans on it to give you a size comparison if you ever want to build Giant scale you will need at least an eight foot table.
