Table Skirt Diversion

OK, there was an article somewhere that I ran into recently showing a guy who had installed a "skirt" around his layout by using clothespins or maybe Velcro and cloth to allow him to cover the mess under the layout, but get behind the skirt or even remove it easily.  It looked like installation would be easy, too.

So, out came the clothespins and a 1/4" drill bit.  Drilled a 1/4" hole in one side of that clothespin "handle" and a smaller hole across in the other handle.  Used 3/4" wood screws to attach clothespins about every two feet or so -- four pins on the 6-foot sides and three on the 4-foot sides.  Most difficult job was screwing on the pins from the "backside" of the layout frame.

Decided to use burlap cloth since it would seem to go well with the workshop decorating theme!  Had to order online. . . .  It came in 40" width, so just folded over 4-6 inches at the top so the skirt would just touch the floor.  Cut the burlap in lengths a little longer than the sides to round the corners and be easy to remove sections, if needed.  Not too tough to screw on clothespins, even easier to hang up burlap.
