| I've been using what I consider the
perfect size table for framing behind my booth. It's a 20"x48" folding
table that I recently found at
Target. |
| I've now covered this table with a
similar color gray carpet to my pro panels. |

| Like everything else I use in my booth,
I've had to modify it for additional strength and height. I've been using
the same size table for years from Service Merchandise (they went out of
business) and was surprised to recently find it at
Target. I've had to lengthen the legs by 11 inches so the table
is 39 inches in height, the perfect size for me to frame on comfortably at
home. I did that by inserting pieces of half inch electrical conduit into
the table legs and screwed sheet metal screws through the legs to hold them
in place. Because I want the table to last for years, I've replaced the
top with a piece of half inch plywood and will be carpeting it when I have
the time. I guess all that I really needed was the sturdy frame with the
folding legs. In the picture above, I've temporarily stapled my old rack
cover over the plywood so as not to scratch the frames. My replacement of
the top is not necessary because the table actually comes with a particle
board taupe-colored vinyl top. And it retails for under $30. Additionally,
the table as it comes from Target is a lot more sturdy than the one I used
to get from Service Merchandise. |
