hmm, thanks for the tip on the warp issue I'll keep a check on that. By the way, our names may cause confusion lol.. by all means call me 'warpy' (and I hope this isn't a bad omen regarding warping boards lol)

Its more than long enough (30" long as a minimum), though you might find that 6" wide is possibly too narrow depending on the size of L brackets you intend to use. The board should be at least 15mm thick and without warp.


Whats the best width for the board ?


The board dimensions are noted in issue 2 on page 9, (90 x 20x 1.5cm)

Do you need to cut pieces out like in the magazine or can you just use a flat board and L brackets ?
