MY 4`x 4` table

[Robin Hewitt]

Have you got any thoughts on painting it yet?

I keep resisting the temptation to waft Ambersil over the exposed iron on mine hoping a miracle paint will show up. Can't stove it, can't find epoxy paint.

It looks sturdy enough, perhaps you might christen it The Bismark :D

Paint, Paint, you seem to think I already have enough weight, well I didnt want some flimsy bolted together jobbie, I want it to stop from full speed without ratteling around, I also want to put a milling head and a router on it so it needs to be sturdy, so it was all tig welded

I have a electrostatic spray gun so I may just put smooth hammerite on it, or there again if I think I have enough power in the motors and they will take the extra weight, I may just have it powder coated
