New Table cover!

10/8/2013

1 Comment

 
For those of you who are tired of looking at all the stains and paint splotches on my cutting table, I thought you would be happy to know I have finally gotten around to putting a clean cover on it.
Picture
Remember what it used to look like ...
Picture
My table was built for me by Martha McCain's husband, the handiest man I know.  It is a 4 ft. x 8 ft. piece of plywood placed on a support frame of 2 x 4s.  It then sits on two 3 ft high book shelves that are great for storage.
Picture
This also makes it really easy to move.

I need to be able to pin into my table, so it is covered with a dense cardboard material that is 1/8". I don't know the name of it.  It is over 20 years old.  I then cover that with tag board, which can be used on both sides.
Picture
You can see this time I just flipped the tagboard.

I then tape around the edges with white duct tape ... what would we do without duct tape?
Picture
Gotta get back to work on that nice clean table!

The dense cardboard on Andrea's cutting table is "Easy Curve" it is used in scenery construction and made by Niagra Fiberboard.
