light weight benchwork
Posted by Anonymous on Wednesday, December 8, 2004 3:06 PM
Hi,
I am considering making an 11'x12' portable layout with 7 sections that will have two FreeMo endplates. Since I am considering taking it to shows, I would like to make the benchwork light.
Any suggestions on what material to use for lightweight benchwork?
Thanks.
