    Zach...22 inch radius means it will end up 44 inch diameter (centerline to centerline...). Add at least 1 1/2" each side so you have at least an inch on the outside of the track...and you're looking at a width of 47". May as well call it a 4x8 sheet of plywood. I don't know if they make HCDs that would even resemble "cost effective" more than 36" wide. Now, if you want to use them as the base of a shelf layout, you could use 24" bathroom HCDs mounted on shelf brackets and run your 22 inch radius around the corner(s).

    If you want a twice-around with a minimum 22" radius, you've exceeded 4x8 and you'll have some custom size - 5x6, at a minimum.

    okay cool thank's just been doing a lot of thinking and i had some ambousis plan's of 6x16 or whatever but been doing some thinking and i think a smaller 5x8 or 5x9 table would be just as good it's in my bedroom and all and ill be the only one worrying about it taking up space and can go around all side's of it i have a huge room but only so much of it to devote to the layout. thank's yall zman.
