I have indeed done this, with an AFM. The baseplate was a thick slate slab. Never tried the two inner tube trick, though. It does work, though it did have additional damping above it (in the AFM enclosure) so it wasn't the sole source of isolation. We were able to get atomic resolution on a good day. This was quite a long time ago, with one of the old Park AFMs (a brilliant design for its time).

Has anyone every constructed a DIY air table by placing a bicycle
inner tube under a baseplate. It seems like a very simple and cheap
solution.
Would it be worthwhile to use a stack of two inner tubes and
baseplates, with the inner tubes inflated to different pressures ?
Any advice and alternative suggestions would be appreciated.
