Table Top Surface
What are you using for the table tops that the metal trim goes around?
Thickness etc? Am rebuilding the fold up table in my TW. Am hoping for something lighter and smaller, it's pretty heavy to setup, even though it's in good condition.

We used 3/4" plywood with plastic laminate.

You can get several different styles of edge trim in aluminum and stainless from McMaster-Carr.
They also have the old T-style Push Stem trim that installs in slots cut into the edge of the wood.
Here is the link to their catalog page.
http://www.mcmaster.com/#edge-trim/=45lc5m
Go to page 3713 for the metal trims.
Regards,
Kevin

Lobsters out of your ears? I suppose they do make a great substitute for Q-Tips!
We've always used them as Bunny Ears, and back scratchers!
See what one can learn here.

Ace MD Table Trim from Terry
Thought I'd post the sky number Terry had sent me for the trim:
the edging is M-D Anodized Aluminum Counter Edging, #A-813. he Ace skew# was 43374 69450 5 (that may be a local skew...not sure). Price was $13.99 for 6' length...we have seen i t as low as $11.99...until we started buying it, anyway! Here's M-D's website that shows the spec's...they have other styles for different thicknesses as well...
M-D: Aluminum Edging Moulding - A813 - for 13/16" Material*
See his photo above for what it looks like.
Went by the local Ace store today or one of them and they didn't have the metal trim in stock. The computer showed it in the warehouse in Dallas. But to order I have to order minimum 6 pieces (about $65). So back to the drawing board. May call all of the local stores and see if any stock this or order from the manufacturer.

dinette metal trim
Will I may wind up with an extra 26' feet of it if I don't find a lesser deal. If I consider buying it from ODM and by the the time I pay for the shipping tube them I might as well buy the 6 pieces.

The good news is, they had it delivered right to our local store and we didn't have to pay for a tube to ship it in or shipping at all - it turned out to be MUCH less expensive. We got (4) 8' lengths for <$13 (3 bucks a length +tax) which was less than the cost of the tube to ship it in from VTS - let alone the product & shipping.

They didn't have a minimum order at our store...but, even if they do have a " 6 piece minimum" order at your store...that's only $18 + tax...can't get much cheaper than that. It's the exact same thing that VTS carrys, same manufacturer, same product as the link you posted here:

Metal Trim
Anybody know the SKU number for Home Depot's trim? THe store's I've been to here have been a waste of time and have no concept that this trim exists.

Richard,
Home Depot does not have a SKU for the trim because they do not stock it in any of their stores. The only way to get it there is to walk up to the Customer Service desk and ask them to special order it for you. They do stock other M-D items so they have no problem with the special order. You will not be charged for the box, shipping or handling. Each piece should be less than $4 and we only ordered four at a time.

Wow! That is really nice looking trim. Even though my counter and table are trimmed in maple, I'll keep this info for the unforeseeable future.

You can also use 3/4"x1/4" aluminum C channel. That may be what Shari used above, I can't really tell. I used it in a Spartan I am restoring. It looks clean, and is relatively inexpensive. a 6 foot piece is about $9 at my local Ace Hardware.

I used both the A-813 that we special ordered through Home Depot and the Countertop Edge moulding which are exactly the same thing.

Counter Trim
Thanks for the insight on Home Depot. I'll do that. Does anybody know which trim to order L type to use on the edge of the kitchen counter that would work with bottom against the formica and the back against the alum skin?
Thanks

Forget the molding, I want those York Peppermint Patties, Shari!!!!
I used to love driving by the plant, on my way to school, when I was a kid.

Table Counter Trim
My search continues. Home Depot after 3 stores was clueless, one couldn't order or find info on MD. One Ace store offered to order it, manager got back to me after 3 weeks and said I needed to order 6 pieces and it would take 2 months to get it in. Looks like I'm going to VTS, hopefully they'll have it in stock.
