Build Table from hell finished!
At last I've got the build table done!
Weighing in at ~500kg this is a truly ridiculous way of doing this which I wouldn't repeat but it's done now so at least I can start using
the thing!

Why?
You building an armour plated vehicle or are you planning on production and repeatability on a small scale or something?
If its just for a one off build what was wrong with building up a table top out of sheets of 25mm MDF or similar?

Hmm, may not be that quick, but at least I'm in a position to start the thing now.

Why did I do it this way? Mostly a few moments of madness.
The other reasons where that the top was cheap from a salvage yard at roughly the price of 3 sheets of MDF.
I'm reconciled to it not being perfectly flat, but whatever I do to it is not going change whatever shape it is now which is not the case with
wood.
Oh, and I'm qualified in Production Engineering so sometimes I can't help myself but think about what sould be done if I needed to make 50
of something.

The optimist says the glass is half full, the pecimist says the glass is half empty and the engineer says that the glass was designed and manufactured
twice as large as it needed to be!!
