hello;

i have been brainstorming about how to move sheets
of sheet metal around easily since i do not have the
ability to either brute force them around or leverage
them around. the idea of using an air table came to
me while in farm and fleet looking for pop rivets when
i saw an air hockey game for sale. i have looked around
and do not find any viable canidates for an air table.

a friend suggested getting some countertop 2nds from
lowes and/or menards and using the dremel tool drill
the air holes then just make a sheetmetal plenum. attach
a blower to the plenum.

i was thinking of using a sheet of rigid nylon and
perforating it with holes.

would anyone have hints, suggestions, comments concerning
air tables?
