    Good morning -

    I decided that i really needed to lay out the top for the table and see how much room it really will take up.

    So a half sheet of 22mm MR MDF on a mock up frame to get the feel for it.

    It does cause me some issues and will have to move some stuff around yet again!!

    The top square sheet is a 1000mmx1000mm board that i was going to use for my spoiler board.

    I was thinking of making this up like my microjig system, a pattern of dove tailed rebates to create a flexible hold down grid.

    I appreciate i can't use the clamps as per the image

    So, its a tight fit, but i can squeeze it in -

    Time to go and purchase some 4x2 framing timber to make a good solid sturdy frame with plenty of braces.

    It will also make me a large lower storage area. I was also thinking of having a large pull out drawer underneath for the electronics and laptop.

    Will carcass the sides out with 22mm as well and it already weighs a tonne.

    Then some shaker style panel doors and a large drawer/pull out shelf to put all the electrics - will update as it goes along

    Oh, for anyone with eagle eyes, the floor runs out back to front, but is dead on square and level!!
