UPDATE: 12/08/2007 - That %^&* 2' x 8' work top
On my next RV (arr-arr) I will do this table top a lot different. The work top I built has been total headache, for several reasons. The particle board "gives in" to the shape of whatever it is screwed to, namely the 2x4s.
It's nearly impossible to get straight 2x4's, and since they are probably "fresh from the tree", they will undoubtly warp over time. I found my self shimming all over the place to keep the table top level. If I had to start over, I would get some nice A/C or B/C 3/4 inch plywood for a top sheet. Then I would rip some more 3/4 inch plywood for the inner structure instead of the 2x4s. I would make the inner structure 6-8 inches wide. Then you shouldn't need the bottom sheet, since the larger and wider inner structure will keep the top sheet level and flat. Since plywood is mult-layered, it doesn't tend to warp as badly as the 2x4s. The idea here is you will be basically building a box. You will definitely still need the flat surface, unfortunately.
