Shawn,

I don't think you will have any problems with condensation, if sealed on a dry day. If you did put drain holes in it you would need to make sure that the inside was very well sealed or the paddle might end up absorbing water from the inside.

: Hi Don, Yes, I used the table saw. Since I don't have a router/table, that
: was my only option. Not that I don't lust after a 2hp Porter Cable plunge
: router!

: Do you think condensation will be a problem if I seal the ends of the tubes
: on a dry day?
