Motivation

RBS/Beam Fabrication

Optically flat RBS/Beam would be fun and useful. You can make it as a PourStrap, pouring epoxy granite or Polymer Concrete into molds. Ideally, your workbench or floor is optically flat as well.

Optical Table

Fun and Useful!

Glass

Try making your pourstrap on large sheets of glass first.

Workbench

It may help to first build an optically flat workbench. Take a normal workbench or table, attach sidewalls, and pour several liters of epoxy into the volume.

Leak Test

You now have an optically flat basement or workroom floor. Try to figure out where the leaks are, seal the leaks.

Try Again

Having tested for leaks, and sealed leaks, pour several liters of epoxy into the volume.

You now have an optically flat workbench.

Embedded Nuts

Much like a chocolate bar, your workbench or CNC router table may taste better with Embedded Nuts. This is also a good Optical Table.
