: Kudzu, just wondering... are you referring to the actual table itself or to
: the cradles that are supporting the boat on the table?

I was thinking about both. I figure someone has some clever ideas for stands. I was thinking mainly about the table top and the cradle idea, I think I like that idea for the initial gluing of the hull. I have often been amazed at some clever idea someone had so just thought I would ask and see what came up.

Stands are pretty strait forward, but again you never know what someone has come up with. I will probably make stands that have straps and I am thinking I could put a removable rigid table on top, something like yours. Then Temporarily mounting cradles to as needed. Just marking out where and screw them in place. Remove then when done.

I guess you could say I was just fishing for a good idea to borrow. :-)
