The Table basic

Hi. Love the design. I’m leaning towards a torsion box myself, but I’m just not sure about the total necessary height. What cross-member height did you go with? Or just what overall thickness of the torsion box did you choose? Thanks. :slight_smile:

Hi. I see that both you and @rcincorona opted not to go the torsion box route for your table. Any issue since then? I would rather avoid building one if it is just overkill. Thanks.

Well, I used lap joints (see pic - table is top down) and the only sag is from my imperfect milling/assembly, :slight_smile:
I would guess that if you were building a flip table a more rigid mounting surface would be in order, IMO.

Hi.
No issues with my design so far. I used 90x45mm timber for the frame and a 16mm “Trespa” material for the surface. It’s fairly rigid and I haven’t had any issues hitting tolerances when machining aluminium parts.

I absolutely love that open design in the pics above. I especially love the neutral gray paint.

Any chance you might have part dimensions or plans / cut files available?

I would be interested in this as well please.
