It's better to have two hands than one glove.
I have long wanted to build what, for me, would be the ultimate work table. I have an associate in the fabrication business and there's not much that we can't put together.
To this end I'd like to solicit any ideas or synthesis of our basic conceptual design.
The table top can be any size and material but for me a 4x8 or 5x10 3/4 MDO white on the side facing up would do just fine. I tend to the 4x8.
What we want to end up with is a steel frame that will feature both a power height adjustment with, say, a range from 24" to 36" or maybe 40" as well as a power top angle adjustment that will rotate the top from a flat 0 degrees to 90 degrees straight up and down.
There would be a shelf under the entire table halfway between the lowest level and the floor.
The table frame wound be smaller than the top leaving about 6" of overhang all around.
Sufficiently sturdy to be able to stand anywhere on the top at any angle and/or height which it is able to assume.
The entire assembly, less the actual top, should be able to be knocked down and be able to ship regular unspecial UPS. You didn't think we were only planning on building one, did you?
Some sort of removable lip on one edge. Desireable when the top is angled, undesireable when the top is flat. The removeable lip notwithstanding, the table top itself would be higher than the frame supporting it. The top most likely will end up sitting a a frame of 1/2"x2" angle allowing the top to form its own edge.
Leveling pads or weapons grade locking casters.
110vac power.
A provison for lining up and locking together more than one of these so you could have a 4x16 or 4x24 or whatever size.
Drawers?
Power outlets?
Axle attachment on one or both ends for mask, magnetics, whatever?
I've never seen anything like what we're contemplating at anything resembling a price mere Earthlings can afford. If anyone else has, save me some time and effort and tell me where.
