The good thing about this is that it will come out of one 2.4 x 1.2 sheet. I will run the router around all the edges and then apply a stain to seal it off. I think 18 mm would be the ultimate, but this 16 mm feels pretty good.

Very pleased with it and a good design. Happy to share the plans, just PM me with your email or mobile and I will send it, but I will try and put it here as well.

Excellent! And if it's stable enough with 16 mm it's perfect.
Nice work Paul!

Whats good about this is that it pulls apart and is easily trasportable, kind of like a flat pack.
