Eric - Looking real nice. A big improvement to the layout.
By the way, have you heard anything at all about Carey ?? I am getting worried about him.
No I haven't heard back. I've sent several emails and left a voice mail. It's probably been week since I've done that.
That is the only worry I would have with the MDF 'sag factor', I could shore it up with more 'cross ties' under the table but I'd rather not have to. 3/4 would probably not be a problem if I did not need 16 sheets to cover this monster! $$$$$$ That's LOCO and roller money I'm cutting into now! Can't have THAT! LOL!
Say Paratrooper: Your getting things mixed up, I'm well aware of how limber, 'Aactual PARTICAL BOARD' is. But OSB is much more rigid and water proof to my knowledge.
What I'm referring to is made up from chips the size of the palm of your hand or finger or larger all glued together with a water proof glue! That's the reason I mentioned about my table top getting wet which it did and all I did, some time after it occurred was to soak up the water on top of the board. No damage of any kind occurred and no sagging like Partical board would have done!
Here's the Comparson link:

The OSB 'Oriented Strand Board' is the second image from the Left, and what you want, as it's very much like Plywood and probably just about as strong. I use it for my sub-road bed to often span about two feet with no sag at all!
I've taken some pictures to show what I've done with the 7/16" OSB, but the images haven't yet been sent to my computer so I can up load them to PB so I can post them.
As soon as I can I will, it took most of the day. LoL
LOL! Finding a product that will provide a good running surface in a 'single layer' is proving to be very difficult.
Warning,
OSB is a b**ch to get track nail into. Plywood will be easier.
Louis, I saw this, and thought of you:Good morning again,
I witnessed a strange occurrence this morning. We have mostly clear skies and had a beautiful, colorful sunrise. Then seemingly out nowhere came a burst of moderate to heavy rain. The skies were mostly clear except for the dark rain cloud right over my home. I guess that is what it feels like to be Terry. True to my luck as soon as my daughter and grandson stepped on to the front porch to leave for school the rain stopped. Shortly after they had driven away the rain began again for another few minutes.
Now for something completely different. I found this beauty this morning and she was just so majestic looking I had to share her with everyone.
Well now I am off to the post office and to run some errands.
Have a great day everybody.
