« on: 01 November 2018, 07:46:09 PM »






I used this table on a local convention for our Blood Eagle participation game. It was very well received.

Looks good.
Drywall anchors seem ingenious.
Yearly painting challenges only show me how useless I am at painting...

That’s a cracking looking table! 8) Are you not worried about the drywall fixings ripping the foam apart?

Thanks for the kind words.   :)

@Andym: Foam isn't as sturdy as wood for sure. If I would use (fold) the table on a daily basis, I wouldn't recommend this method. But if the table is used carefully and only occasionally, there should be no problem.

Personally, I just want to try out this technique. Because for another project, I need to build (and transport and store) a variety of tables.  ;D
