I used to use our formal living room dining table to build on. To protect it I put down several layers of news paper then two pieces of 24x48 inch plain white ceiling tiles. That works very well and is flat if you stay on one piece of tile. Alas the wife was not pleased to lose the dining room and I was evicted to the garage. So I built a work bench the whole length of the garage. Plywood for the top was too expensive and in looking around I found 28x82 inch interior doors for $12 in a local hardware store and I used those. It is very flat and good enough for building a wing on. I now have enough room to have my band saw and drill press out all the time. Finally, I also have a glass shelf that I use, as well as a couple of pieces of 12x36 composite shelf pieces. Once the work bench top (doors) becomes beat up I will unscrew the worn door and flip it over. Stan
