This one would be a big project. Literally. Or at least big by my standard.
Imagine a relatively small work table. The work table would only have enough room to solder, or sew, or use a microscope, wire jewellery, 3d print, disassemble something, etc. Now make a work table for each of these things. The work tables would be setup in a loop. At any point, only two tables wild be at the optimum work height, and the rest would be either above or below. By rotating the loop, other tables would become primary.
Major constraints:
- Power rails
- Lighting (work boxes rather than tables?)
- Everything must stay flat. No inverting or tilting.
- As this would be for space saving, it can’t take up too much for space.
- In the home shop, so it has to look cool.
An ellipse would get me more height for my buck. Garage door rails might make for a workable load bearing track. Linkage between the boxes might be a good way to share positioning, support, and power.
I should draw something out and start looking at that linkage.
