This is not a live conversation, this is post and wait. Post your entire problem clearly, and check back later. Hopefully the "elves" will have answered.[:D]

According to my wife all layouts are holes that consume great amounts of money and time, Go figure.


As for his 10 X 6 dimension I would definately recommend a hole somwhere in the centre a hole big enough to work and navigate around. Some very good articles on holes in MR but here we refer to them as access panels. As we don't want any confusion.

And by the way I see this is your first post on forum. So [#welcome]

That would be very cool if you could walk all the way around the 10x6. I'm afraid that this person may have given up on us, thinking that this was a live chat, but we can still kick the idea around...... what little we know[:)]

Joking aside, what do you think is better for the hole. A "gated community" or "duck-under"? With my back a duck-under would be out of the question unless the table top was at least 6' high. [:)]
