 |

Matt,
I built a 12'x4' work table using 3 12' long 2"x10" wood beams, braced them,
and put it on strong wheels. Problem is my floor is not all that flat and I
had to spend a few hours shimming up the table whenever I moved it. Also
noticed that the beams were not rigid enough and the table did not stay all
that flat. The middle sagged about 1/8" and I had to add legs in the middle
of the table.
As to making the table smaller, My 701 wings could probably been made on a
10'x3' table as long as you don't skimp on the 2"x2" metal beams used to
support the work.
Regards,
Les

List,
I did the same type of construction using the example on http://www.liming.org/ch801/
http://www.liming.org/ch801/table.html
I am really thought that these beams were over kill, but now I am wondering.
Has anyone else who built this type of table, found that they need to reinforce because of
sagging?

So far so good. I did put two layers of 3/4" material on top (plywood and MDF) which also contributed to the ridigity.
