Make a jigsaw-puzzle table
Zigi says...
We used MDF board, namely SupaWood, to make this table because it is sturdy, smooth and much cheaper than solid wood. But it is fairly heavy and large pieces would be difficult to handle, so ask your wood supplier to cut it according to your measurements. We bought one board of 2,7 m x 1,8 m at Plaza Board Centre (there are branches in Cape Town, Bloemfontein, Gauteng and North West), and they cut our pieces exactly according to our measurements at a small extra cost.
