Hi, good morning neighbor, been a while since I've been through
El Dorado, use to call on a hobby shop there many years ago when
I was a sales rep for Dealers Hobby Dist. out of Dallas.

The desk that you have is a great start to a building table, just
make sure it is absolutely level. My preference is 2' x 4' ceiling tiles
to build on as it easier to push pins into than a lot of other materials
like plywood, my building table is made from a solid core door which is
more stable than a hollow core one. I made a frame to support it and
fitted 2 x 4 legs with bracing. I'll snap a pic of it later today and post it.
I also have one of those balsa building boards that is available from different
sources, I beleive mine is a Great Planes 3/4 x 16 x 36, they also make a 48"
board as well, and they aren't that expensive, I've had mine for several years
and use it regularly.

BTW if you decide to use the 2' x 4' ceiling tiles and need more than one, tape
them together with paint masking tape, works great to hold them into posiition
on the building table also.
