RE: Which would you rather build on?
I took one of the doors (hollow core) from a downstairs room when I lived at home-been using it for years and years. I pin everything to it using a good quality hobby pin-makes everything nice and straight and it won't budge until I want it to. I also use a couple of the big white tables,-3.5ft. by 8ft. to lay out my wood, glues and other supplies when building.
