I got a slab of an old bowling ally that I am going to use as a top for a bench I am making. The underside of it was not even in any way so I had to build a jig to flatten it. It worked wonderfully. I used pocket holes to put it together. I can add on to it if I need it for bigger projects and take it apart for storing it. I will post pictures of the bench build soon.

Good job. You got a good lane section. Most of the one’s I have seen were a laminated deal, with more nails than you can count.
Thanks for posting.

A nice jig that is indispensable if you are working with odd shaped stuff.
