Carving table

[Gardenmac]

Does anyone know what the carving tables are called, they look a bit like workmates but are smaller and height adjustable, all the ones I've seen are red metal with a wooden work top not sure if they open abit like a vice to hold the work piece. Sorry I can't find a decent pic.

Hi Russell, they are moto cross bike stands mate .

You moved that wood yet?

Motocycle hydrolic scisser lift , l would get the type that has a release peddle rather than a hand screw to let the hydrolics down, it will save you putting saw down to work it.watch out for bad one's on the market that take a week to go down, I changed two then ended up fixing the next one myself, the hydrolic release pin in the jack was to big for chamber restricting flow, I had to take a mm off pin.You can fix a piece of wood to the top then screw carving down to that, (Amazon ) hope this helps , Ray

abercarver, do you have some pics of that?

How stable are these for chainsaw carving? Is it just the weight of the wood that stops it moving around?
