Hi,
Yesterday, I went through an article concerning a portable benchwork from BLUM TOOL. I read this article to find out how it is made. Dimensions: 18” x 48” H ? Weighs: 55 lbs. I watched the video to see how it’s worked. I read the paragrah: How it is possible? The top. It will cost me around 500$(tax, shipping and handling +customs).
Can you explain how I can make the top with a plan. It will help me to understand and visualize. Sorry about my English. I hope you understand whar I mean.
Thank You,
Sergy.

I'm sorry for such a long delay replying to your post. I've been away from the forum for several weeks. I hope I'm not too late to help.
I don't exactly know how that top is constructed but I can point you to an article and project on our site that may help you understand how the BLUM table works. It is a workbench project that uses pipe clamps instead of a vise:

Another idea is that the top is a torsion box with holes cut strategically through the inside of the torsion assembly, similar to the bench detailed in this article:

Hope that helps.
