I'd like to have a fairly light 3'x6' surface I could set up on sawhorses as needed for an auxilliary gluing/assembly table. Plastic laminate surfaces to resist glue would add weight, so ideally the surface would be 1/4" plywood skins on 3/4" or 1" honeycomb core. Again to reduce weight the solid frame around the honeycomb core would be no wider than 1".
During glueup it is not uncommon to use F style or K bar clamps to hold a piece to the tabletop, and with only a 1" wide frame the clamp head of F style bar clamps could be over the honeycomb core. Has anyone any experience with this type of assembly table top? It would be several hours of work to make a complete sample to experiment with the clamps. Thanks.
