My shop isn't very big and sometimes I don't have enough room to work on a project. I needed a spot to where I could stain a table top. I fould out a card table was ideal surface area and leg spacing works so I could put the table on the SS table with an extension and have a adjustable height work surface.
This is another example of what you can do with your SS.

I use a 5 foot section of masonite and it works great!
