Some time in the past year or so there was a user tip in fine woodworking the mag from someone who had a way to bring workpieces up to the right height to work on. He or she used one of those accordion type telescoping stands that was originally used for some other application (a warehouse or something), and I think he put a torsion box on top of it and used it for finishing pieces. Anyway, it looked like a good idea — it was on rollers, was relatively cheap, and had a vertical travel of some 18 inches or so. I am trying to google a source for one, but I have no idea what to call it or where to look. If this is enough to jog someone’s memory, I would appreciate a tip. TIA D. Lewis

Hello D. Lewis,
There was a “Variable-height worktable” Methods of Work in FWW #186, page 16. It’s online for FineWoodworking.com members as well: http://www.taunton.com/finewoodworking/subscription/Workshop/WorkshopArticle.aspx?id=26907
