I thought I would share this little tabletop work space that I built. Depending on your setup maybe it will be a useful idea. It helps me keep things more organized, and it might be good for folks who have to use the kitchen table as a temporary workbench.
Basically, it is simply a self-healing cutting mat attached to a plastic cutting board of about the same size, then I attached some accessories that I use on a regular basis and drilled holes for some other things. The mat attaches to the cutting board with double-sided carpet tape. I put panhead screw in the corners too.
The biggest attachment is a Panavise. I didnt want to screw it down to my workbench, as it would sometimes be in the way. Now I can move it to closer to me when I need it to work on, or even cary it over to the spray booth. The screws will project from the bottom off the board, so I filed them down with a grinder.
One thing I have frequent need of is a place to cut photoetch from the fret. I attached a small square of plexiglass to one corner, now I always have a hard surface readily available for that. I beveled the edges of the plexi and held it down with small brads:
Another thing that gets a lot of use is CA, and I favor using discarded bottle caps as a pallette to hold the glue. I drilled a hole through the board with a spade bit, while holding the board at an angle. Now I put in a spot of quik-tac, drop in the cap, and put some glue in there. As needed I rotate the cap to a "fresh" side, and because it is at an angle the CA stays pooled against the edge.
I have recently discovered Tenax, but that bottle is easy to tip over, so I drilled a hole big enough to hold it. A smaller hole fits some little bottles that I use for CA accelerator and debonder and other things that I have tipped over too many times to mention. And there are even smaller holes for brushes:
Finally, I screwd down a little wire and aligator clip holder that I got from MicroMark or someplace similar. It's handy for small parts:
I added a couple of handles that are made for drawer fronts, and put some rubber "grippy" feet on the bottom (like go on the end of chair legs). You will need at least a drill to make this (a drill press is even better). Hope some of you all find it an inspring idea.
