Here is some pics of the first piece of my modular game table frame, I still have some work to go on this but the basic shape will hold true for these pieces. But what I was looking for was a fairly lightweight frame to hold my GW Realm of Battle Board or the foam terrain panels that I've made. The ability to break it down into the 2'x2' sections, and make it so that you can configure the setup to what ever size you want. Like being able to go from a 4'x4' board to a 4'x8' board, or have a 4'x4' board with 1'x4' side boards, or a 4'x6' board with the 1'x4' side boards. Now on the side boards what I mean for them is just a simple piece of hardboard cut down to 1'x4' to act as a tray for holding out of play miniatures, place to put your rulebooks, place to roll dice and not have to worry about hitting miniatures with the dice.
At some point I'm looking to take the supports & fold up legs from a 2'x4' or bigger table and put the base supports I'm planning on cutting out here at some point. Which these 2'x2' modules will fit down into and the supports will also help hold the modules together. I've got a few ideas on ways to lock the modules together, and already have some woodworking items to hold modules in line when the faces are put together. But those are further down the road in next year more then likely, since I'm running out of time this year.
Anyways here is the pictures and the final pic of the trial run at the FoW Winter Modular Game Board.
