EAA Tables

The tables are not hard to build at all.  Just go find some good 2x4's and have at it.  You can find the plans here.  Once you get going, it gets to be an assembly line process.  I used glue and screws, but you can get by with glue and nails.  I wanted to be sure these were able to be taken apart, so I used bolts to connect the legs to the top.  By they way, see HS and Tailcone sections for examples of a clever addition to the tables that was suggested to me by Randy Debauw.   These are simply scrape 1 x 4's screwed to the table sides so that you can hold a long piece as you work it, freeing your hands and securing it.  Make a least two sets of the 1 x 4's, one that sticks up about 12" and one about 24".

The three pictures below show the large table, the top of which is 3 x 8 feet.  I use this for my main shop table, building on the other two.  You'll need at least two of these bigger tables when you get to the wings, slow build type.
