Tales of dust in Texas - Dallas TX USA

We started construction yesterday on our 5' x 10' table. We are using 3" x 8" x 1/4" square tube for our main beams, 2 1/2" x 3/16" sq tube for the legs and bracing. It will be a little beefier than called for but weight is not an issue for us as we have lots of liffting devices. We are going to try for first cut within 4 weeks. That may be optimistic, but it's something to shoot for. I'll try to post pics along the way.

Welcome to the world of MM.
I am certain you will do fine. 4 weeks is a very good estimate if your devoting your normal work days to the project.

Keep us posted!
