No this is a new tabletop made of 3/4" birch plywood with solid oak edging and almond laminate, and I did the same with the countertop.

Podster, the base of the pedestal is screwed into the floor with No;12 screws it only has to hold up the pipe, the table is attached at the far end to the bench.

Here is how you put your backing for the front of your corner cabinet on the ceiling.



Take your backing strip put cuts in every 3 to 4" and a screw between the cuts, the cuts should almost go right through then screw it to the ceiling.

Marwane,
I am in your debt for sharing your expertise & knowledge with a "newbie". Thank you for your help. I really appreciate it. Last time I was up your way was for the Calgary winter olympics. Really had a great time. 
Thanks Larry158

Solid backing in ceiling, every strip of burlap molding has solid backing, then there is another solid strip of backing in between the burlap moldings.



The meaning of my tagline? I build my own stuff so I know it's done right.

Marwane,
Thank you for that lead on cabinets page 24. I saw what you did, but how did you do it? I suffer from the condition of being over tooled & under knowledged. How did you figure out where to put the ceiling support wood. Is there any support behind/up in roof to srew into? What does the tag line mean?
Thanks again
Larry158

Larry, to answer ? no 1 check my tagline.
Check under mods, Cabinets page 24 and New table part 1 and 2 page 65.
I don't know how to put a link to it.

Yeah, my biggest question with modding the pod, how do you find mount points.  Like in the garage of my 181G, the track is only mounted in the corners.  Not too sturdy, want to add more support in the center, don't know the structure, or where it is.  Would hate to use metal screws into wood, or just screw to thin board.

Beautiful workmanship.  I'm envious. Sadly,  I've learned that having tools hasn't made me a craftsman.  Embarrassed  And, yes, I'd also like to know more about that pedestal table.  Surely, that heavy particleboard can be replaced with a sheet of cabinet-grade ply, yes?
