[TheForge] Poor mans platen table

Sun Apr 6 20:29:05 2003

Ralph you have some round pins in your table on your website, are these
hammered in? or are they a perfect enough fit that you can just push them
in? I was thinking of putting a plate under this 3/4" platen plate so I can
drop pins in and they will rest on the lower plate, looks like from your
pics you dont have anything beneath yours?
