Default Re: carving table

I didn't ever draw plans, but I have built 7 of these out of 2 X 4's and some plywood. They are about an inch or so less than elbow height, (I made one for someone much taller than me) and I use them for students as well as for myself.

I used salvaged wood from having built a house for the most part, but had to buy 1 sheet of 3/4" plywood to complete so many of them. They have a 2" overlap for clamps, and a small tray on one end so stuff can be out of the way and not roll off the table.

The one pictured with the plywood at the bottom is the one I take to demonstrations with me. It travels just fine, because it is so sturdy.
