I've been thinking of mounting a skirt panel on the worktop with T-rails and using a set of those instead of a moxon style clamp..... £34 for two banggood ratchet clamps, might just buy those.

You didn't have to. You could have explained why you want to call these things "torsion" boxes.Myself and probably the others involved in the argument in the other thread just gave up and let you have your little say. .....
Yes, we did and it was explained although most people already understand what one is. But what's the point? You in your flerfer-esque manner will continue to refuse to consider any other viewpoint and continue to promote your own viewpoint. You could have left this thread alone but you couldn't , you had to pop up again with a typical trolling post. I do wonder if it is some sort of obsessive, compulsive behaviour.You didn't have to.

It doesn't matter at all except the impression given is that there is some esoteric design feature involved - there isn't - they are just varieties of box construction, but non the worse for that.
Some do, some don't. Can be many shapes.Some similarities but I think it's a bit different.
A box has just 4 sides, top and bottom.
Some do some don't.Torsion box has all the ribs inside the 'box' bit
Not really. "Box" construction covers it. "Torsion box" if it's designed for torsion specifically. Most of them are not.so it's worth having a different name for it as it's a different thing. Isn't it?
I am an 82yr old time served joiner reading this at work and i have never heard of a "Torsion box" and presumably there must be many more like me?Yes, we did and it was explained although most people already understand what one is.

Anyway, I'm ignoring you from now on.
It's a new idea which has been sweeping through the world of amateur woodwork.I am an 82yr old time served joiner reading this at work and i have never heard of a "Torsion box" and presumably there must be many more like me?
Thank you JacobI am an 82yr old time served joiner reading this at work and i have never heard of a "Torsion box" and presumably there must be many more like me?
Basically if you take "torsion" out of the conversation it makes more sense i.e. just talking about "box" constructions and the many varieties thereof: from empty boxes to sandwich, stressed skin, etc etc.I get the idea, just dont understand why "Torsion box" cant see what torsion has to do with it. Just another version of the honeycomb construction method that has been around for a very long time.
Agree, I'm with Adam a fancy name to make it sound new and exciting and innovative etc etc.Basicaly if you take "torsion" out of the conversation it makes more sense just talking about "box" constructions and the many varieties thereof. "Torsion" is misleading.
I'm just eating a slice of torsion toast. Hard crusty skin with a softer honeycomb construction within.Agree, I'm with Adam a fancy name to make it sound new and exciting and innovative etc etc.
...... effectively a stressed skin structure containing nothing but air......
Not waffle toast then, maybee that's so last century.I'm just eating a slice of torsion toast. Hard crusty skin with a softer honeycomb construction within.
Later I'm going to blow up a torsion sphere - a rubber balloon - effectively a stressed skin structure containing nothing but air
But not a common term and no clear definition except that it applied to things involving torsion; not shelves, work tops, doors etc.So many words, so little understanding.
The term has been used for about 100-years,
