Twills, With all the discussion on table heights: I built a table for the pilot house settee. It is mounted on an > alum > > pedestal fixed to the floor on a std. round seat base.. The pipe on it was > > too short as I need it 39 inches high so I found a piece of alum. heavy > > wall pipe the rt. length but abt 1/32 too large in diameter , to fit the base and the slide ( infra), had a > > friend with a metal lathe turn each end down- bingo. Painted it white. > The > > table attaches to the top of the pipe with a discarded table slide so my > > table slides fore and aft , really neat. It is 32 inches by 16 , > used 3/4 inch teak plywood. The fiddle is one inch 1/2 round stained to match the teak trim in the P/H. Each corner of the 1/2 round is cut down to allow easy clean up. The size of the table is just rt. for either eating or to use the laptop. It is situated in the middle of the 79 inch long settee/day berth. Two people can sit behind it without crowding. The slide facilitates moving it away fr the settee when one wishes to nap as THE WIFE is into naps! The foregoing may give some of you and idea on how to fit a table into your boat.
