Housedad,

Nice strong table you have there.

Old hollow core doors from the 60's are excellent quality. If you know of someone remodeling an older house see if you can get some. I was given a couple and they are perfectly flat. I will probably double them up like you did to make sure they don't move.

My first building table was a 12" hollow core door with two coats of Minwax poly. My H-Ray came out great! I use a piece of sheet rock as a work surface to keep the table clean and it holds pins well. Cheap, flat and disposable.

I thought of buying some cabinet magnets and a piece of 24 gauge galvanized sheet metal to make a magnet board but never got around to it.

I used two of these doors jointed together as a 46" wide shelf in my 4'X8' enclosed aircraft trailer. We ripped the doors to half the required width, removed the honey comb 1-1/4" deep, made a joiner spline from a 2X4 that we planed down to the proper thickness to fit inside the door skins. Glued the spline in with wood glue and secured with ring shank panel nails. The panel is very light and strong.
