tables
I used two folding tables at 35 bucks each, and one eaa table for nearly the same size work space. I also bought a couple super heavy solid core doors from a local building salvage place to lay on top of the folding tables. Great for sacraficial drilling! 10 bucks a piece.
Mostly, I use the folding tables and I fold them up as needed and stand the door slabs against the wall. When I'm done, I can toss them if I want.
VERY VERSATILE.
The EAA table is great, but for workspace, I can't give up my folding tables/doors. Where else can I get a 13+ foot by 34 inch table that breaks down in less than 5 minutes?
I originally thought that the folding table/door setup wouldn't be stable enough for much of my work but I havn't found that to be true at all. In fact, the folding table is plenty stable and with the door on top it hardly ever moves unless I lean against it-- as would the EAA table
Right now, I'm using one folding table for benchtop tools, one for building and the EAA table for plans and my DRDT
I suppose the only down side that I can think of is the lack of off-the-floor storage space that the EAA table offers, but I used boxes under the other tables as much as the shelf on the EAA table-- later, I just deleted the shelf on the EAA table so that I could sit at the table in a desk chair.
Another upside to having the door slabs around is that when I was working the wings and had the large flat wing skins I was able to store the skins on a door leaning against the wall by drilling a single hole in the door for a cleco (acting as a hanger)
