I'm experimenting with a small torsion box for a router table. It will have 1 1/4" webs and be skinned with 1/4" mdf on the bottom and 3/4" mdf on the top.
I don't have a vacuum bag setup. I've tried making cauls (I think that's what they are called) before and, although they worked fine, found them hard to use.
If I put a piece of plywood on top of the assembly and weight it down with blocks or sandbags, evenly distributed over the area, will that work? I've seen photos where some of you guys have done this with much larger torsion boxes, but haven't seen anyone do it with the smaller ones.
