majority of my "woodworking" is speaker boxes for my store so my worktable is 4x8

some of dem master woodworkers in 4rin does used 2x6 tables & saw horses for support of 4x8 sheets , dat way too small for me

i have a other table that is 4x12 but most of times i have "junk" on it so i mainly use d 4x8 table [yrsss ago when i used to do welding for a living i actually had a 4x16]

both my current tables made of 1x1 , 1.5 x 1.5 & 1x2 rhs & have casters on them ...

yup
Luckily I was using minimal stick-out
Another dumb mistake was forgetting to adjust the blade when I had to cut thicker MDF
I plan on making some saw-horses so I don't have to be stooping on the ground to cut sheets. I ordered some hinges off amazon to make 2 x 4 saw horses

if your place is not flat it might be better to get a welder to make up some with a leg which has a bolt to extend or retract to adjust for ground not being flat

nah it's level enough by me. Cast decking
We'll see how it goes
I could always make some leg sleeves with bolts if it comes to that
Also, I have a TIG but that's a whole other story :lol:

my problem is space. The cars alone pretty much take up all of downstairs, and it's open, so not much in the way of walls...at least not right now

Any one of those steel fabrication shops that do wrought iron work, gates, fences etc can make it for you.

feels like I spent more time this year buyin tools than actually building anything -__-
Kreg rip cut, K5 pocket hole jig, a pair of ratchet band clamp thingies.....

On another note, anybody has issues with mold on MDF? I have older shelves and cupboards that never ever got mold. My cupboard that I built in 2020 has mold growing on the edges, as wel as on the dressed faces....I'm wondering if it's a difference in quality in the old MDF vs the new stuff
Also discovered to my horror, mold in a flat-pack cupboard that I put up earlier this year...never ever had this issue before

Probably skipping that mold/mildew treatment to keep costs down these days

Or cud be ur house get excess moisture from the rains lately and feeding the spores. Invest in a dehumidiefiireier.

I'd say spray lysol too but I sprayed that on actual mold and it still springs back up. So you may need to wipe down everything good with bleach as well.

Also mold hates copper. So keep some OLD 5cents (2017 onwards isnt copper) and copper wire around randomly.

def not humidity....been through worse weather than this with no problems., and the 10 year old MDF cupboard has zero mold issues. Only started in the past couple years with the new cupboard I built, and the flat-pack
Lysol does nada. I now have to add monthly lysol wipedown to my ongoing list of shitt to do

I had some hand sanitizer in a spray bottle, saw some more spring up on a chair that don't use, hit it some hand sanitizer and everything dead, no wipe down required
