Evening all,
I am planning on starting an outfeed/assembly table this weekend. My original plan was to make a torsion box top (pretty much Mark Spagnuolo's found here:http://www.finewoodworking.com/2007/...assembly-table) and put it on a pretty basic 2x4 frame. One thing I'd figured I would add is a small vise and some dog holes. After starting to lay it out in CAD I realized that I am sure to drop all kinds of crap in those dog holes without being able to it them out.
I am a newb and the vast majority of things I am building right now are shop projects. A $20 plane and 3 Kobalt chisels are the extent of my hand tools (I dont even own a hand saw , yet). The vise and dogs are mainly wanted for assembly and holding some things I place. I dont plan on putting much stress on them. Being new and with limited skills I know that whatever I build I will probably want to rebuild inside a of a year so I am looking to go fairly cheap and easy to make this first time around.
I guess I should get to my question...that top with dog holes a good idea? Can anyone point me to a design that they feel might be better considering my situation?
Thanks!
