Default RE: I want to build

I have a couple of straight metal edges to check the trueness of the wood. I looked at the GP build board, it's 3/4 inch in thickness instead of th 1/2 I was thinking. Never thought of trying to use a door, or part of one. I heard of doors being used before.

I just did some measurements and the fuse is about 48 inches long so the card table may not be long enough unless I get something to overhang. Lighting won't be an issue, plenty of light already.

Guess I'm off to homedepot to price some things. Didn't think of blue foam for the pins. I don't remember what I used in Japan to pin but I know I did. I may have just used some plywood then also. The table was plenty large enough for the kit I built.

Thanks guys.
