I built the new workstation out of the necessity of
preparing large slabs. It is
30" X 30" X 8" inside dimensions. The site glass is 12"
square, so that I can
see to prep even the middle of large pieces. The microscope sits free on its'
ring light so that it can be moved to different positions on the glass. I
used
piano hinge on the door, and there is a deflector strip covering it on the
inside
to prevent the abrasive from getting to it. There are pressure latches on
each
side of the door rather than hasps, that way I can prevent it from sagging
open
or having a crack between the door and cabinet when it is latched while I
am
working. There are also deflector strips around the door.
