Hello
We bought old, salvaged, solid core doors for $15. a door, cut them to
size and added shelves and 2x4 to create the sturdiest of tables
We have two tables the full door length and about 3/4 of a door wide.
Full clay buckets are stored under one.
Also two square tables using just half a door for each table
Hope this will appeal to some of you. Bj.

I am going to throw in a shameless ad here for my good husbands salvage
business. For those of you who live in the southern Indiana area,
FirstSaturday Construction Salvage just outside of Spencer on rte 43,12
miles from Bloomington, has lots of solid core doors and other odd bits of
stuff to make furniture for studios, metal work for kilns, etc. He built me
some incredibley solid shelves out of old doors and wheels for a song (plus
dinner etc.). Actually, I met the man when I went shopping for used doors
and windows 8 years ago when I built my studio. Got all kinds of deals-plus
a husband in the bargain. His phone is 812-876-6347

I cannot seem to sit and do my hand building or of course wedge clay.
Since I stand to work, I bought an old 4 post drafting table form an office
furniture liquidator. It is the perfect standing work height and pretty
sturdy too. I covered a piece of plywood with canvas for a work surface on
top of the table. This allows me to take the work surface outside and clean
it occasionally.
