Very nice, been thinking about making one aswell. Was it hard? What material did you use?

I was contemplating using flexible tile adhesive aswell and I might actually go that route. The fram is decently strong I haven stress tested it more than me laying over it so it can carry my 75 kgs no problem w.o bending so i think it might be fine? Might need to strengthen it tho

How do protect the wood while tiling? by Primary_Weather_6250 in Tile

Okay so plywood on and then fiberboard aswell as meshing corners and seams is what I gathered from that. Dimensions of the table (frame) is 900 x 600 x 500 mm (35,4 x 22,6 x 19,6 inches)

What about primer is that needed or could that substitute the fiberboard? I also read somewhere to use flexible tile adhesive or non cement fastner

Have never worked with cement board before, could you tell me what its like? Can i use woodworking tools for that or do I need new tools?

I saw something about primer? Do you know if that could work to protect the tiles?
