Tuning tables ....Pictures and bragging rights

[Thinkin'Bout Racin]

Anybody else care to share pictures or ideas for a tuning table? I am still in the design stage and would like to do this once if possible.

I know Bulldog was working on a new table a while back ...I wonder if it is finished? Now that is a table I would like to see! Bulldog, are you listening?

I just watched his tuning table video the other day and have been gathering parts ever since.....aluminum flat stock, shelving board 14"×48", adjustable legs, ect. Just trying to put it all together in a common sence fashion to be extremely effective and as compact as possible.....
I have seen jewkes engineering's table and bulldog's original one that appeared to be modeled after the same but i dont have that kind of room....thus the "Cherokee Chuck's Micro Pro Tuner" or what ever i can come up with that's smart.....bumper stop, center rail... graduated left/right dom markings, lightnin boys 4 way check area, drag tuning layout by unknown source, bulldogs aluminum rail, to size checkers and whatever other awesome ideas that should be included with a comprehensive piece of tooling.....so what do you think.....what does the ultimate tuning board need?

I also read the thread where Bull Dog implied he had something amazin comming. I dont believe i have come accross it, i was trying wait to build THE table until i saw what he came up with.

Don’t forget the “rocket car” option for your tuning board. You’ll thank me

Thanks for sharing!!! I think it is important for all that visit here see a table like yours or mine. The Scout dads don't need to be intimidated by some of what they read. Setting the steer can be repeated on one like yours and mine. What we are lacking is the ability to "hear" what is going on with the wheels/axles by not having a glass top ....yet!

I have a plexiglass top and can hear wheel noise on it very well. Although I will be switching to glass soon.

 

[Charles Studer]

I think that glass over lay is very possible

 

[SuperSlow]

Reecedad if your current top works well why are you switching, just because you want glass?

It works well now but I think it's life expectancy is short. I'm starting to see small scratches in the plexiglass. I'm sure it's from the paper towel when I clean it.

What ....you need to clean the tuning board?



Yea that's it, ............I will use that for the reason our cars are so slow!

Next your going to tell me that I need to level it from side to side?

I have had an acrylic top on mine for four years.

I bought a piece of 1/8" acrylic from Lowes, cut to length and width, and it works perfect.
