I do a lot of screen printing and other techniques which require a good work surface. I recently constructed a new surface. Here's what I did:
Two 42x72 sheets of insulation board, duct taped together
screen slats cut to size, taped around perimeter of insulation board
layer of carpet padding cut to size
8 gauge vinyl cut approximate 6" larger than on each side than insulation board, placed on floor; carpet padding and insulation board placed on top, duct taped down; stapled to board
work surface placed on 5 foot table - notice pvc pipe legs used to raise the table - a real back saver!
This is a large work surface which I use in the garage. I use another similar surface much small in size for inside studio work.
Now I'm ready to roll and work on a new project!
Go to Pink Saturday for more inspiration!

Very nice! And I assume it is light weight enough to easily put away when not being used? Is the vinyl the kind painters use to keep paint off the floor?

Great idea Pat. Looking forward to picking your brains during my Naples stay in 2012. Jen
