Screen Printing Setup Part 1

Here are a couple of photos of the underside of the vacuum table I'm making for my screenprint setup. Its made from a laminated table top I got from the dump (nothing like free wood). The table is 120cm x 80cm with a vacuum area of 110cm x 60cm. The channels are being done with a router and the holes in the top are drilled with a 2mm bit. Fingers crossed its gonna work.
