re: Tabletop

Thanks for appreciating my lame attempts at humor, Splint. :-)

I'll probably just move the tables under the house. (We have a walk-in crawlspace with a concrete slab on one side.) They'll come in handy if we ever have another garage sale or something. The tops are laminated particle board, so I might need to slap some varnish onto their undersides so they don't get moldy.

I'm not sure you'd think my new tables are any less flimsy. They are reasonably strong and stable, but they're still pretty light-duty tables. I wouldn't hesitate to sand or route on them, but I wouldn't put a heavy planer on one like the Woodsmith site shows. I'll use them mostly to hold stuff while I work. They'll be really handy for projects where I pre-finish. With those, any horizontal surface is fair game.
