Reply to "What did you do on your layout today?"

     BIG BOY 4005 Elliot it is just my own opinion but I built a hot wire cutting table for cutting the foam board. I got an old piece of 4ft. long counter top from a cabinet shop and framed it with 2 X 4 pine boards and the same for the 4 legs. Between the counter top and 2 X 4 framing I used a piano hinge so I could lift the top and connect the cutting wire underneath easier I looked at a bunch of videos on You Tube for help with my table and with everything included I think I have about $60.00 into building it. I am not good at looking up old threads on here but I posted pictures of the table I made and maybe you could find it and take a look. I used a 12v. 2a. DC power supply from RS but if you want to use a bigger power supply 15 - 18v. 2a. it might cut faster because with the 12v. you can't cut the 2in. foam board very fast or you will break the cutter wire.Just my 2 cents worth Take care!
