Hydraulic lift carving table
#1 · December 12, 2022, 11:03 am
I recently began taking on-line Mary May carving lessons. I believe that it was in lesson one where the ideal height for the work piece was covered. Mary made a passing comment about how it would be nice to have a height adjustable work surface. I have built such a creature by installing a work bench on top of a Pittsburgh hydraulic lift table ( purchased from Harbor Freight for less than $300). This has proven to be an ideal carving bench solution for me. It has about 20” of vertical adjustment. I did replace the cheap casters that came with the hydraulic table with better quality full locking casters obtained from My local Woodcraft store
