After taking a carving class in Austria, I came home and decided to make a bench top version of the schools large carving table out of scraps. I ended up making a second one for an article published in wood carving illustrated spring 2009 on how to make a small carving stand. They are really handy for holding work, the table swings so you can carve vertically or horizontally and they take a pounding. there are two holes in the base to bolt it to the bench. 4 years laters and a lot of carving and they work like day one.

Those are cool and look very useful. Carving is something I have never tried.

Neat!
Any chance of getting more views or better yet, some dimensions so we can make one?

Did you attend Geisler- Moroder? I recognized those benches right away, on a much smaller scale. I built a full sized one, from a tree I milled. Very nice! How did you make the frame part for the table, pivoting piece? I had trouble with mine.
