Glenn, I made my lay up table with heavy duty steel storage rack legs, and on
top put an uncut piece of 1 inch thick Customboard which is 4ft by 12ft, so the
whole wing area can sit on it supported. I varnished the top with three coats
of marine varnish. The height is important. You want to be able to work on it
without bending over at all. I am 5 ft 10in and made the top of the table 3 ft
high. Its pretty ideal I find. Good luck!
