I had a problem with my repair mat wherein it would slowly slide up the table. I had tried sticking it to the table with double sided tape, but the problem is the mat is very “non-stick”, nothing sticks to it. So I used two small screws to hold it to the table. Time will tell if the screws hold or not… (and yes, it *is* upside down… this is so that I can get my low component drawers out… :P)
So I installed this shelf. It’s the black wiry thing:
But it was a bit of an ordeal. I managed to snap not one, but *two* screws while bolting it in.
The drill bit on the left was a casualty of trying to repair the mess. One screw shaft was irredeemably stuck in the wood, I couldn’t get it out. The other one I needed to drill around to get it out, it was stuck hard. Then I just plugged the hole I had created with craft sticks and hot glue, then tried again.
The spirit level says I did a fairly reasonable job of it:
