I bought this table for my father for Christmas - he does a lot of handy work around the house, like cutting trim, and applying glue to anything that breaks ( if fixing things with a clamp and glue was an olympic sport he would be on a box of wheaties)  - he also does a lot of precision wood carving and burning - since I got this for him, he cant stop himself from telling me how much he loves it - and trust me he is the type to let me know if their was even a minor problem
