Mike Y Posted March 24, 2016 Share #121 Posted March 24, 2016 I was writing about IKEA electrical height adjusted tables here, and now I finally got it to try first hand. See the photos in "where do you do your modelling" topic: http://modelshipworld.com/index.php/topic/3869-so-where-do-you-do-yours-then-model-making-that-is/page-26#entry399112 It is the BEKANT table: http://www.ikea.com/se/sv/catalog/products/30255250/ With GERTON table top: http://www.ikea.com/se/sv/catalog/products/50106773/ It is more stable than I expected, probably a heavy table top (it is a thick solid wood) helps with that. Really great, I can recommend it. mtaylor, AON and Canute 3 Quote Current build: Beavers Prize - POF 1:48 (Hahn style) Side builds: Schooner Polotsk by Master Korabel 18th Century Longboat by MS Finished: 21ft English Pinnace by MS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Blarney Posted March 25, 2016 Share #122 Posted March 25, 2016 (edited) I would separate the tool rack & storage from the assembly table. This pic is just for ideas, for holding and working on a (big) model. It was built upon the scavenged base of a veterinary operating table. It rotates 360d, tilts 0-85d, and elevates from ~22>36". It can lift about 500lbs, due to the long-ram hydraulic jack in the base. The top is 24"x24". It could be scaled down. The gimbal mechanism is quite clever and not too complex.
