Its easy....... I just cut the hole that my bed would fit in the I added 2 pieces to the front and rear of the opening to hold the machine in place. I think it was 1/2" stock with several wood screws to hold in place after I glued it up real good. But I used a door blank for my treadle table. You could just make notches in the cut out to hold the machine up if your using 3/4" board stock.
