When it comes to custom side tables, or carts, one is only limited by your imagination and creativity.
I, personally, have gleaned a lot of inspiration from the very creative members on this forum.
I try to give back the best I can in hopes of inspiring others to "crack open" their creative side, and let it loose.
The above mentioned tables are very creative, indeed! Great stuff.
If you leave 1/2" 3/4", with know protection you will be fine. @MacEggs will agree.
Yes, that is fine.
A homemade, or custom-made side table is a wonderful thing. It is unique to you, and you can look on it with pride.
I never thought I would have a Performer, so
I made 2 side tables out of steel two years ago, with aluminum legs.
These are great tables!
I then acquired
a C&B Performer last summer …. And, I wanted a wood table. So I
made one a little larger than the stock table.
I didn't stop there …. For my Ivory M/T, I
wanted something very unique.
