Everybody, just something to keep in mind...Please adjust exact measurements as needed...Although the dimensions provided should accommodate a wide range of scroll saw models, there might be some cases where something here or there might need to be adjusted to meet your specific needs...For example, I used a twelve inch wide board for the top (the mounting screw pattern for a lot of scroll saws fall within this width)...However, some saws such as the Excalibur (I'm not sure of the actual footprint) might require a little wider board.
Janet, although I like the look, carpet isn't the only material that can be used to cover the top...I had also contemplated using either rubber or cork instead of the carpet...After using this setup for a while, the carpet gives it more of a furniture feel (might be a plus to some of you that scroll inside the house)...I didn't stain it yet, but I've been contemplating it just to give it a little zest.
I look forward to seeing pictures.
