Mianne Bench work question solved

John,

You did nothing wrong. I have an 8 X 16 bench work and had the same thing happen. This makes a 4 X 8 sheet pretty hard to be flush on the edges.

As Ken said, there will be a gap at the edge.  I fill the gap between the plywood tabletop and the fascia board with latex caulk.  Then scenic as appropriate for the area.

I just ordered mine and when discussing dimensions and specifics with them I was told about the additional length. It is because they measure center to center. I just told them what my max dimensions were and they adjusted their cut sheets accordingly.

I don't know how I missed this post the other day, I was just going to ask how your layout was coming along.

Have any of you seen this stuff for sale on the after market?

I occasionally look at the aftermarket but have never seen it for sale.  I do own a 6' x 12' table from them and I recommend their product.

There is a great deal on a Sievers benchwork kit currently on eBay. It is in California and the seller requires local pickup. If I lived close I'd probably be a bidder.

My plywood top sits about half way across the end beams. Probably that way so that you can add on to existing framework easier.

The Ebay listed Sievers Benchwork is in North Carolina not California.

I have some very gently used Mianne which will make a nice sized layout.  Email me privately if you are interested.  My address is on my profile.
