It needs to be slightly modified to suit the hackspace:  it must be storable (since taking up an entire table all the time is unfeasible.  I propose building a top sheet consisting of a backing layer underlying cork, to be wrapped in kraft paper in- or ex-situ,  which can be clamped onto one of the tables when needed.  The clamps will be dedicated to this equipment.
