Steve D Member Steve DeWeese Jul 3, 2006 #2 Dave, That looks nice and the choice of melamine for the top was probably a good one given the chemicals it will be exposed to. Nice job integrating the power outlet as well.

OP OP D DaveT New User Dave Tenhoeve Jul 3, 2006 #5 I used biscuits and yellow glue. I wasn't 100% sure about the bond at first, but it's working. I had orginally planned a plywood substrate with a piece of Formica on the top, but I didn't want to buy a whole sheet for such a small area. Thanks Dave
