<br>The Thurston James book recommends using exactly what DV suggested, the nichrome wire and the ceramic spacers.<br>The table I / we built is small enough that we can use the oven as a heating source.<br>Although, when the larger one is built I plan on using the above components. <p></p><i></i>

You can also use of the cheap indoor grills they sell at Wal-Mart or K-Mart etc.<br><br>Turn it upside down and, with your size tabel you will need to use a few bolted together.<br><br>Here are a few example on eBay just because I knew I could easily find images there <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :D --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/happy.gif ALT=":D"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <br><br><!--EZCODE LINK START--><a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... <!--EZCODE LINK START--><a href="http://<br><br><!--EZCODELINKSTART--><ahref="http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2370122644&cate">cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2370122644&cate</a><!--EZCODELINKEND--"><br><br><!--EZCODE LINK START--><a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... <!--EZCODE LINK END--</a><!--EZCODE LINK END--</a><!--EZCODE LINK END--> <p></p><i></i>
