Good comments so far! Keep them coming.

I do plan to use the table as a good portable work stand after I'm finished and I can use it working on tractor engines and transmissions also.

That sounds like a good plan if you have the help available. I'm fairly new in this area and live out in the country. I do not get in to town often and spend most of my time teaching Internet courses at TSU.

But, I do have a 2 ton shop crane and a gantry crane in the shop and I depend on them to do all of the heavy lifting. I plan to position the gantry crane over the work table and use a strap in the front and back of the block when I need to turn it over or get it off the table for a while to work from all sides.

I know I'd keep the straps on it at times I was not working on it just for safety sake. I'd hate for that big o' thing to roll of the table if we had another quake around here.
