Re: ATM Work Table for grinding

[Andrew Tubbiolo <enigma@seds.lpl.arizona.edu>]

Hi:

	I found the 55 gal drum to be the better solution from my other
attempts. After a few hours of grinding I find the height and shape to be
perfect. I used 100 lbs of weights (As in bar bells) to weigh the thing
down. Plus I placed 3 rags under the barrel to give 3 point support and
prevent rocking on my lousy concrete floor.

Good Luck!

Andrew
