The top contains nary an ounce of iron (no magnet alive will stick to it). It seems to be made of aluminum and some sort of hard plastic (phenolic?). The slots would be T-shaped if it weren't for the fact that all the corners are rounded -- no two to the same radius.
Have been considering buying a nice workbench top. My problem is, living in a mobile home, there is no garage or workshop. The bench has to set outside under the awning which is my work area. Will these tops hold up under these conditions?
Having now sorted out domestic arrangements I have now decided to convert part of a garage to a permanent workshop and have started making the frame for a workbench. Any ideas from the team on the best way/material to make the worktop. Many thanks. Malcolm Webb
I have my first new machined table to take care of, and was recomended Top Coat for it. I was wondering what people think of this product? Worth the money for keeping the friction and rust down on my band saw table? Thanks
I'm building a built-in office unit which is L shape. The computer workstation will be in the corner (I'll have to build a corner piece). I would like to know first what kinds of materials make good computer/office desktops/kid homework surfaces? Any suggestions out there are most welcome. ...
Don't fall off the ladder, it hurts http://s428.photobucket.com/albums/qq6/adamko2020/?action=view¤t=camera2052.jpgAnd yes that is the same ankle I broke last year so it was probably weaker than the other one which is only slightly swollen.
It would be used on the top only and several coats of urethane on the bottom. I am concerned with the epoxy and it's effect on natural wood movement during the seasons. The manufacture says no problem if the wood is dry to start with, however, I am still leery. What do you think? Thanks, JG
"Sasquatch" On top of some good suggestions here, seeing as some of us agree that life is a circus, how about a big top? Type; "rent tent exhibition outdoor" in Google's Images link and see what comes up.
I believe the standard counter top height in the US is 36". But what is it in other parts of the world? I can't believe that in the metric countries it is an odd number like 0.9144 meters. When the counter has stools at it and it is mainly used for eating, do people still make them 36" high?
Over the years the appearance has deteriorated (some rings, wax build up, scratches, etc) despite the use of table top leathers. Also, use of recommended spray polishes, containing solvents, has had a negative effect.
