Reply to "Felt vs. Carpet for Tabletop"

@SGMA1 I can (barely) see your wires coming up into the underside of the track.  When you try to drill holes thru the carpet, doesn't it ball up around your drill, leaving long threads and a bigger hole than you wanted?

Nah Ted, I drilled 1/4" holes all over the carpeted surface of my tables, in a regular 6" pattern. I did this because the layout had no set track plan, this way there was always a hole nearby, to pop a wire through. I never had any problem with the drill grabbing the thread and causing a run. Use a sharp drill bit and be a little careful.

Edit: I did glue the carpet to the table top first. That may have helped.
