I have some sketches which I scanned, and are making the
scans available free for whomever asks me (off list please).
There are a few pages of .gif images at 300K apiece. Not
very fancy, but I have no time right now to get them into CAD.

These are plans for a 3'x5' table (36" x 50" x 18" travel)
which use my leadscrews (available now) and UHMW construction
blocks (available soon). The dimensions are completely
variable and the frame can be either wood (inexpensive)
or aluminum (expensive). In any case, the diagrams
might give you design ideas of your own.

As soon as I can, I'll update the website. Until then,
please email me for one or more of the sketches
