Hi Everyone,
I'm finally building an all-purpose assembly table to complement a simple ww bench I put together over the summer. I'm planning on using it for an outfeed instead of the ww bench I'm using now while at the same time serving as a model building table and/or ww project assembly table. Was wondering if anyone has had experience with laundry board(?) as a work surface? This is the product sold at the big box stores which appears to be a tempered hardboard (masonite) with a smooth white coating on one side. I would definitely prefer a light surface - especially for those tiny ship model parts! I'm also considering the possibility of a formica if I can find it cheap enough - will need about a 4ft x 6ft size. BTW - this will need to be a relatively thin top, say up to 1/4" as it will be affixed to a torsion box. Any thoughts are appreciated.
Thanks,
