So no real problem I think. Your solution would allow me to roll the second part of the cabinet to the right of the room, between the lesser used cabinet and the sets of drawers, out of the way. I would need more wheels, and those are not as cheap as I hoped, but there are always the 25% off coupons for the Praxis and Gamma I can use. The top I'm still thinking about....I have the first table, made of a hardboard top on a pinewood frame, and the last time I checked those were still fine, if too big. But using just 12mm ply sounds interesting and light weight as well. I'll cover it with a sheet anyway so it doesn't need to be painted. Well thought, Erik!Gunbirdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00901545363558114083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2754746529923019195.post-38662306288154629142015-02-16T20:24:40.932+01:002015-02-16T20:24:40.932+01:00Sounds like a plan.

If you're smacking a total of 24mms of spare solid wood onto the drawer blocks anyway, you should be able to fit a set of narrow (recessed) latches somewhere? It may give you some more flexibility in where you leave the units when not in use. It would double the number of wheels needed though.<br />But similar latches may work for the table surface as well. Will you be making the boards as just a single sheet, or will you adding a frame?<br />Something like this:<br />http://privateerpressforums.com/showthread.php?123924-Building-guide-easily-storable-modular%284x4-or-4x6%29-gaming-table-top-with-basic-toolsModhailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09501755346409102920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2754746529923019195.post-2787037624084972552015-02-15T21:25:09.610+01:002015-02-15T21:25:09.610+01:00That's beyond my technical skills mate. Piers ...That's beyond my technical skills mate. Piers noted he would have a 120 board anchored to the wall that could be folded down, and a cabinet on wheels to support the other end. I can't see that working either cause there is no wallspace left to do that, I lose too much storage area if I was to do that. Sofar I'm finding my own plan the most practical, even if it means making a base that can never leave the room. I just don't see any other practical way of having a gamestable in my room.Gunbirdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00901545363558114083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2754746529923019195.post-53987848243092703882015-02-14T20:08:38.463+01:002015-02-14T20:08:38.463+01:00Take your time mate, still no rush ;-) If you have...Take your time mate, still no rush ;-) If you have a high ceiling you could also consider a table hanging from the roof on cables, you can lower it when playing and hoist it up when not doing anything with it.Sanderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11115340279941888622noreply@blogger.com
