Hi all,

Hoping I get some more replies I start a new thread🙄

I'm building a TT, and searching for the right materials.. I've done a lot of reading, but I'm still not satisfied..
First plans were to use multiple layers of plywood, with cavities for lead, and a thick layer of acrylic on top.

After some reading and questions on other forums the Teres way was vry tempting, i.e. to use hardwood. Trouble is finding the (^!&*( stuff in small quantities. If I was going to build 20 turntables and had professional tools no problem, but I don't..:whazzat:

So my first plan is coming back up, but to be sure here's my question to you: what would you use??

O yeah, forgot about Corian..

Thanks a lot, guys..🙂
 
wood sandwiches seem to be flovor of the month

as well as Derlin plastics

ohh and my fav ....coss its cheap ...make your own pre cast units from cement

or a combo of all 3 ...hehehe

wood would be best for a prototype,, my advise is make a trail unit ...and then try things to improve it
