I'm looking for stand for my scroll saw. The ones I see for sale are
basically just metal rod constructions that are usually a tripod.

I was thinking that having a regular table would work as fine. That way
I could have drawers for my jigs and blades. But is there some reason
that scroll saw stands are made the way they are?

I don't know yet if I'll find sitting or standing to be better. Sitting
on a nice sturdy high chair might be best. One thing that concerns me is
having space for my legs.

Could anyone give me some pointers on what does or doesn't make for a
good scroll saw table?

Thanks!

Jack
