There are pictures of my FW in the table here:

What you can't see is that underneath there are two crosspieces that the machine sits on. The machine fits kind of tight into the metal-it's more or less clamped/clipped in.
Still, the FW is light enough that reverse engineering a usable table is certainly doable. After all, it only has to support 11 pounds, not 40!
