Table tops
<div class="IPBDescription">cover it up?</div>Question - How big are the table tops and what are the dimensions? The reason I am asking is, I think it would it be nice to have something to cover the wood tops with. I have some of the real heavy rubber roofing "membrane" that could be put on top of the tables and if anybody thinks it would be a good thing I'll bring it along to the first shoot. It does not hold moisture or water and it lasts forever. I don't have a lot (maybe enough for a couple of tables) but I might be able to get more. This stuff is about 1/8" thick.<br />

Maybe?

Sure sounds good, but I'll defer a decision to those who are more knowledgeable about such things, like Grit or Dan.<br />
<br />
Thanks for the offer!<br />

Anyone know where some of those shallow boxes could be purchased? I'll go look at one of those "container" stores to see what they have. <br />
How many would we need? Six?

The material should be of the proper size to cover the top of the table and the edges of the top to prevent water from getting on the wood.
Once the tables are built this material could be used as a removeable mat to see<br />
how it works. I like Ugly's idea of a box located on the table to collect brass. Who<br />
hasn't watched brass roll off a table?
<br />
<br />
Hey Black magic, I just got back from a container store and they had some plastic rectangular boxes that measured 6" X 9" X 2" they were only .79 ea. ; they wouldn't have to be 2" deep, I figure any kind of border to prevent brass from rolling off would do. <br />
<br />
I figure that one *beep* and washer in the middle would secure them to a table or, they could be put out for every shoot, but, I think that if they were secured, they wouldn't fall off of the table and wouldn't get lost going to and fro from the storage trailer.<br />
<br />
Now, if you want to make some boxes at approximately those dimensions I figure they would be fine but, is it worth your time and material or should I just go back to that store and pick up six of them?<br />
<br />
Either way, I think we need something to secure the brass from rolling off of the table. Like I mentioned before, Beloit has those boxes and I feel that they work out well; they also help prevent people from putting their hands in front of people that are unloading and thus getting swept.<br />
<br />
Any one else have any thoughts on this sub-topic for the loading tables? <img src='http://www.goodguysposse.org/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/thumbsup.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':thumbsup:' />
<br />
Also, how are these tables going to be put together? Are we going to have a work party, several, where and what tools would be needed? Drills, socket wrenches, screwdrivers, screws, washers, etc. Is a shopping list going to be put out or is there a designated "purchaser" and we just need volunteers?<br />
<br />
If I'm in town I'll volunteer my time and fingers. Just post the dates and times.<br />
<br />
Those were just a few more questions that the rough riders might have addressed already but I didn't know so I just threw them out there. Don't want to step on any toes.

I know that he has already said that a hand with picking up all the lumber and unloading at his house will probably be required. My kids have said that they want a piece of that detail and their young bodies are most welcome to it. Us old farts with all the replacement parts don't do as well. The mind is willing but the flesh ain't.<br />
<br />
I suspect that he'll be putting them together in modular parts to be assembled at the range. It's his show with the original ideas from Grit improved upon by him. Perhaps when all the parts are assembled he'll need some pickups to haul them out to the range or perhaps assembling the parts. Don't know what his schedule is for the project. <br />
<br />
STAY TUNED...<br />
<br />
P.S. regarding the containers for the MT brass, can't see how anybody could complain about the plastic ones. If they don't like em, don't use em. Yeah wood is nice, but if a man's time is worth anything at all, you can't compete with under a buck (not to mention the cost of the wood). <br />
<br />
Just a few thoughts from behind the display case.
<br />
Talk soon. <img src='http://www.goodguysposse.org/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/thumbsup.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':thumbsup:' />

If they don't work over time ... we can look at the wood boxes.
really large shop.<br />
