    Is their anywhere in your house! maybe suspended up in the living room or something. it wont be used all the time so it wont get in the way when the fam are watching telly.

    The idea of this bench was that it is your workbench but you can also do veneering on it. Trouble with that is you would have to clean it off first.

    So if I decided to build a very big table say 2400 or 3000 by 1200 what is the best way to apply the glue, roller or spraygun. Is there enough time to glue the bottom veneers on and the top ones on in the same gluing process?

    The only downside I see about veneered torsion box is construction time.
    I used to build a 1800 x 900 solid table in 6 hours plus 2 hours to turn the 4 legs. I reckon the veneered torsion box is going to take 15 to 20 hours.
    But I still like the stability issues and lower weight which is important with big tables.

    Hi Lignum,

    I'd agree if it were on a curved surface, but on a flat face, I've had no issues (to date!) with movement, especially as I allow for some movement anyway in the frame.

    The little hall table I recently made didn't have any veneer thicker than around 2mm.

    Cheers!

    He he, at that time no; later, well ahem!

    Cheers!

    PS I was waiting for that one!
