Well I have my first one all most finished. Yahoo... I just have to get something for the bottom of it. I thought that I was going to be able to use the plastic cutting mats that I bought at the$1.00 store. Even if I were to use 2 pieces I think it is still too flimsy. So I might try the plastic table mat that someone else mentioned. I can't wait to make my next one. I will get it posted tomorrow sometime after work.
