This might be a bit much for what I need. I can only imagine how much that thing weighs; looks like it is the whole tree.

Sorry for the dim nighttime photos, but I did a little organizing tonight, and I figured I better snap a picture while it was halfway presentable. :P The flat file is in the Austin apartment -- this is what I have at my house in Corpus: tabletop and legs from Ikea with a piece of MDF across the leg crossbars to make a lower shelf, foam board for flattening, and multiple portfolios for storage.

scored these today from the City of San Mateo....they had a warehouse full of them I guess they just switched to all digital files. I would have gotten more but they only had 1 base footing and 1 top, so 3 was as high as was useful. 600 bucks plus elbow grease they are 54" x 42"

Awesome score. That being said, please don't print too many 54" x 42" images.

That thing makes my Mayline look weak as hell. Awesome price too.
