To all,Thanks to my friend and comrade Nikola, I am now a 3 table owner. Actually the 2nd table is to be "put down in the the basement" as my comrade suggested. It is the UA-7045 arm and a TT-81 table. Let the party begin!

Harold-It's not the material but the manufacturing methods used that makes it so highly toxic. Chrome bumpers on your car is a good example. Having chrome bumpers on your car will not make you ill. But working around a chrome plating facility will...
