   Tables are just a space suck in my shop.  They all have Horizontal   
   Surface Disease.  HSD.  If I need to use the big welding table the first   
   thing I need to do is schedule myself an afternoon to clean it off.

   ------------------------------------   
   The people across the street used to go through vehicles faster than you   
   did, they picked up cheap or free junkers and raced them through the woods   
   until they had to be dragged out. There were over 40 worthless cars and   
   trucks on the property when the town clamped down on them. Cutting the cars   
   up with acetylene was satisfying fun. They were all or part Native American   
   with their own set of values, which was fine with me, not too different from   
   off grid relatives in the southern mountains except for their cold   
   tolerance.   
      
   My active workbench is plywood on the washing machine, which I have to clear   
   off once a week for laundry. Right now it's covered with old electrolytic   
   caps and the power supplies to reform them. Middle sized projects go in the   
   driveway, big ones on the lawn. The sawmill and gantry hoist go wherever the   
   tree fell.
