The corner protectors were attached with flat head Phillips screws, the metal was counter sinked. |
|
Cardboard patterns were made for the corner |
Edge strips were fabricated from one inch oak stock, again it was available at your local home improvement store(Lowes). The edge strips keep the gear or your lunch from falling off the table, very popular on maritime installations and British tables. |

Here is a nice shot of Joe W3KJT with the Mark
II version. Joe added two inches to the height and other improvements.
|
|
Straps were added on the bottom of the Mark II made by W3KJT |
|
Note the careful inlay of the corner protectors. Joe used commercial protectors available from a building supply store. These protectors are steel and much more rugged. The Mark II with its improvements should survive many ham fests and military rallys. |
|
Quarter inch bolt inserts were mounted on the side panels to mount future accessories. |
