Sawdust Instead of Sand

Hint of the Month

by M.R. Oliver

I may be teaching my grandmother or mouthing heresies, but in "War Games" you mention the problems of weight, etc., for sand tables (especially dampened ones). For my own 8, x 41 table I use sawdust, which can be compacted by hand pressure on the table without the use of water, and is much lighter than sand. If you think the suggestion warrants use in print, please feel free.
