Brief Description:  My initial shop configuration

When I decided to build another aircraft, I wanted two tables. A layout and a construction table. I chose to build them from steel with plywood tops. My construction table is 42"W x 144"L x 35"H. I made the center legs offset from center about 4". This allows a storage space for 72" table top sections underneath. The table and top have been leveled and shimmed for flatness. It also has two trailer jacks with wheels to allow it to be moved easily.The fiberglass storage and layout table is constructad of steel and plywood. It stores 3 rolls of glass. These rollls are on cam follower type bearings. A fabric drape can be zipped down to protect the glass from dust and sunlight. The layout tables are 84" long x 42 wide x 35" high.The layout surfaces may be assembled in two configurations. One as shown in the photo below has the glass rolls in the center. It may also configure with the glass rolls at one end, presenting a 14' glass cutting surface. I covered the top with 1/4" poly sheeting from a drafting supply shop. This layout table will fold up and has wheels. The grid is 2"My epoxy cabinet is heated with a temperature controller that controls the cabinet air temperature and a momentary switch that reads a sensor in the epoxy resin container. I constructed the pump hand and foot levers just like the Cozy Girrls... sort of. When I started building parts it was great to have all these tools ready to go.
