I'd like to help, but any DIY advice from me would almost certainly result in your house falling down. Then you'd really be angry.

Just bought a plank of MDF from homebase and used storage boxes to raise mine up to elbow level.
no more risk of back injury

I used a door on some adjustable saw horses for a long, long time..

..sort of large but will fit a crate and monitors as well..

these are the plans for my deck table cabinet, I'm going to carve a picture of two octipus' on the top. Its 90cm high which I have been told is the offical hight for DMC battles though how true that is I do not know.

1cm = 10mm imo.

I think it might be referring to scale, as in, 1mm on this piece of paper = 1cm of actual wood..?
