Super lightweight carbon fiber salon table


I created a carbon table top by vacuum bagging 12 oz. carbon fiber over inch and an eighth structural foam, then sanding and finishing the top with automotive clear coat. It's really glossy.  To prevent beverages from sliding off the table while under way, I will hold them in my hand.


Here's a photo of my rounded edge carbon fiber table top.  This table is very lightweight and strong.  I could balance it on one finger.  I used a surplus carbon fiber tube of ample diameter as a base and I can sit on the edge of it with no sign of deflection.

that's an excellent solution to the beverage-containment dilemma. greg just reminded me of a comment that a dear friend of ours made while crossing a border with contraband.. when asked where he would hide it, he replied, "never underestimate the hand."
