at some point i need to make more work surface space

i like the torsion top idea but not enough space for 4x8

i am thinking of making either two 4x4 or two 2x8 torsion tops

i think the 4x4 make more sense as they are useful separately
sometimes i only need 4x4 work space

the question becomes what attachments to use to make it easy to
connect and disconnect to get them out of the way

they will sit on saw horses

any one made or use a torsion top in the shop


One of the cheapest, simplest, fastest, most effective work surfaces
around is available in the door section of Lowes & HD: a luan veneered,
hollow slab door. Different sizes ranging from $18-35.

They are very light, yet very strong and work great for tossing over a
couple saw horses. They are built as torsion boxes. If you need
something with thicker wood surface on the top, you can attach a sheet
of cheap plywood to it, top, or top and bottom.

I throw a sheet of melamine over it to get a great gluing table to which
the glue will not stick.

The door slabs come with or without punctuation... um, I mean, knob and
lockset holes.
