Comments and advise very welcome and needed LOL.
I started my benchwork today (finally) by taking my old 4x8 table and ripping it into 2 tables.
I know it's not much, but between reading and learning and figuring out track problems this is quite an accomplishment for me.
My goal is to build a O layout as the main line and an HO layout above it in the back on a mountain top. Thoughts?
I may have messed up the width measurements to achieve this and if so, perhaps I can use the right or left sides for the HO mountain top?
Both are 32" high and believe it or not they are level. This alone was quite a feat for me :laugh:
The thin table against the wall is 30" x 92" and the wide table is 42" x 64"
I still have at least one more table to build (on the left side to make a full horseshoe) but I ran out of wood. Maybe tomorrow or next weekend. I may add a little more to the wide table (about 42" x 36") since i have the room.
I put some very thin wall coating on them but I haven't taken pictures of it yet. I'll post that later.
I still need to add the supports and under table for stock, parts and tools which I hope I will finish tomorrow.
For now this is what I have.
