Building the MFT cutting station

Over the last couple of weeks I have completed the cutting station.

This measures 7 feet long x 4 feet wide x 38 inches high. (213cm x 122cm x 97cm)

Due to the Covid 19 lockdown I have had no access to new materials, so have built this out of relaimed timber and sheet goods that I had to hand, comprising 9mm ply and 18mm mealmine faced chipboard and an assortment of 3 inch x 1.5 inch (85mm x 35mm) CLS, in three, five and seven foot lengths, that I recovered some years ago during a shop refit.

Here are some photos of how it all came together.

The space as it was!
