Throughout college my only desk was a hollow core door slab placed over a pair of sawhorses, and I still haven't abandoned this convenient form of table. Whenever I need an additional work surface open come a pair of Trojan (

A good door slab typically provides a very flat surface which is useful in assembling face frames or checking the 3-dimensional squareness of a carcase, not to mention being very much lighter than any folding table. However, having your slab seesaw a load onto the floor is not fun. To provide greater security for this old favorite I've added a draw tight latch to the end of each 2x4 and bolted the Trojans on as well. The draw tight latches make attachment quick and easy with no reaching underneath the table.
