MFT Top Replacement

[JeromeM]

Jay, congratulations on progress on your MFT "recovery project."

Nick, I very much like that adjustable height table, and his clever yet simple height adjustment mechanism.  I'd probably increase the dimensions of the stretchers to increase resistance to racking loads (pushing on an end of the table).  If a fine adjustment mechanism is not needed, a chain could be used instead.  The bottom stretcher in that variation would engage a chain link in a metal-reinforced notch.

Dave If you liked the Folding adjustable height table you should check out his other postings they are on    UKworkshop Forums  Jigs & Tips pages 4, 5, 6, 7 & 8.

If you need to save time or cash they are inspirational

Jerome,

Thanks.

I do think what Nick copied and posted is inspirational.  To me, it is not just about saving $, but getting something that is closer to exactly what you want or need.  From what is posted on FOG and other forums, and at John Lucas's Woodworking Demos site, it is clear that woodworkers are a very creative bunch.  These internet forums provide a wonderful opportunity for participants to build upon one another's ideas.
