<DIV><SPAN class=044364718-19112004> I have always wanted to
follow that route and may still. But, to anyone needing to sheet a set of wings,
try the Godfrey method of checking around on your garage floor for a flat area
with a 48 inch straight edge. If your garage is like mine, which is very
typical, it won;t take long to find a flat area. And for other building needs, I
use a door I bought from Home Depot laid over an old table.</SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=655234018-19112004>I'm tellin' ya guys... Billiard slate is
the hot setup. Designed and milled to be dead level, comes
premounted to particle board, and it's free. Even the slightest
chip in an edge ruins the peice for use on a pool table. The peices I
have you'd be hard pressed to even tell where the chip is without a good
inspection, and yet they gave them away. Zero value if they're not
perfect.</SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=655234018-19112004></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=655234018-19112004>And while they're heavy...they're not
unmanagable. I'm able to move mine by myself (it's some work) when
needed. Again...most peices are a third of a table...about 30" by
50" Perfect size for our purposes (though I did need to put two together
to sheet my Carden wings.) </SPAN></DIV>

I suggest using a sensitive level, and, while you're at it, put a 4 ft.
straightedge down, and shine a flashlight down one side, while you look down
the other. Don't be shocked at what you find. Remember, after it
is screeded, gone over with a bull float, and troweled, it's a miracle that it
even appears flat.<BR>Bill Glaze<BR><BR>Nat Penton wrote:<BR>
