I found this piece of furniture at a thrift shop and immediately saw it as a carving station extraordinaire. It already had the slanted top and I put on some wheels and drilled holes for the pegs so the block can be held steady in different positions and glued on some non-slip material. I don't know if I'll stand or sit as I haven't tried it out yet. I love the fact that it has drawers down both sides for tools, etc. I wonder how I can customize it some more--maybe a corkboard above the desktop to hold references for carving? Maybe some small pegboard to hold stuff? The brakes on the wheels need some adjusting so they work better...

I love Serendipity!
