Default RE: Lazy mans large, Portable, FLAT building table build thread

My two cents,,,,,, I've recently gone to the magnet system of building, I'll NEVER go back. Now I did build a heavy table, 1/2" glass, 12 gage steal top, 4' by 6', Total cost about $500. But, before that I used a "Single" metal clad door! Very flat, without windows it was only about $80, and only required one. No ceiling tiles, no pin holes in your balsa, etc. I dry fit a stab recently the way you would normally, marked a couple of alingment marks, last night it took me just 30min. to glue, line up, and jig the entire assembly. Pulled it off a little while ago and with a machinist rule, and laser level I cannot detect any warp in any plane.
