    Dave,

    I noticed the water table has a slight slope toward the middle, I assume to make draining easier. Are the slats supported only on the sides? If so, have you noticed any deflection when placing large pieces of steel on the center?

    Thanks,
    Jason

    The water tray is sloped to the middle. The tray has a 1 inch lip that the slats sit on. i have had full 4x8 sheets of 1/2 inch on the table with no problem.
