Heated Table ~ Part Four

Okay, Here we go again. The last installment being back here. I've started doing some technical writing on how to construct a heated table frame near the end of this year. So far, this is what I've come up with:

Assembly manual for the heated table frame

Tools needed:

• A small adjustable wrench

• Fixed-size wrenches

• A 4-1/2” electric grinder ( or similar air-tool) with a cut-off wheel.

• A tape measure

• A small engineer’s square

• A pencil or scratch awl

This gauge of metal formed into ninety-degree angles can be purchased in the hardware department of home improvement stores in the USA. It is punched through with three different holes. One is circular, 3/8” in diameter and spaced three inches apart; the other two are oval and slightly smaller, oriented in two different directions ninety degrees from each other, and spaced 3/4" from their centers.

The top pieces are sized so that the circular holes are 17/32” from their center to their ends, with mitre cuts of forty-five degrees on the top. The side pieces can be sized the same as the top pieces. Anything more than 23/32” from the centers to the ends will protrude above it.

The side pieces for the bottom are sized in the same manner, except they are positioned upside down in order to form a shelf with the simple addition of a ply-board cut to the finished perimeter. A height of six inches (or two circular holes spaces) is suggested.
