Love this table. Well done!

I wish I had that kinda "scrap" lying around.  That looks great!

Yes, very nicely done! I made similarly minimal pedestals for my cylinder bed machines - Singer 29-4, older Pfaff 335 and Adler 105. Each different, but you asked about height: I made them so that the needle plate on the cylinder beds is at the same height as the needle plates of my flat bed machines. That way one chair height works everywhere and the cylinder machines are less top-heavy than they would otherwise be.

Having that common, relatively low, height also allows me to have a single supplemental table that I can roll up to any of the machines when I need some flat-beddedness.

I like my cylinder arm higher, closer to eye height if i use my flatbed chair,  for one main reason. I have a cylinder arm for sewing bags and other odd shaped sewing jobs. When I am doing a bag gusset, for instance, I stitch with the face of the bag up to get a nicer stitch on the more visible side. This leaves the gusset to wander around underneath there if I am not careful.   I frequently have my head up under the arm making sure the hidden layers of a bag are co-operating on the underside. It would be a struggle if the machine was lower. I have a taller stool just for that machine as well for normal sewing of belts and such.

I'm totally sold on UWE's flat bed attachment. On or off in seconds. Rock solid.

Size drives what I can have in my sewing room and this is absolutely perfect.  Have you considered making these tables for sale?  I want a heavier machine, but I have no room for it.  I could certainly negotiate some open space for this setup!  Well done!  I'm serious about the selling question!

You know the meaning of overkill! Great work.
