    Excellent assembly table Michael.. and you will find the advantage of being able to go high and low in one unit soon I believe. I have two assembly tables and one I call a low-boy. The low-boy is a definite plus when working with 5"-6' tall carcasses.

    Well done...

    Nice job assembly table Michael.

    Great idea putting the scissor jack in.
    That will make life a lot easier.

    2600 lb. casters.
    You will be able to assemble a tank on it...

    Neat idea. I wish I had room in my shop for a large assembly table.

    Where did you find an electric scissor jack? Only seeing 12v ones right now.
    If over thinking was an Olympic event, I'd win Gold every time!

    Nice table!

    Mike,
    Welcome to SMC. Nice table, some really neat wood designs going on there. It sure will be nice to have an adjustable assembly table. The only way I can do that now is to use different height saw horses with my solid core door for a table. Beautiful job.
    Measure twice - cut twice - Still TOO short!

    It is a 12 volt scissor jack I bought a small motorcycle battery to power it and it has a trickle charger on it. My electric guru figured that was the most economical way to do it.
