Great idea using the base of the trundle bed for a cutting table base. I may have to do some measuring and thinking on that one! Right now I have one the folding craft tables like JAF sells in the middle of the room. I also use it for a large pressing surface. It's a tad too high for me to cut comfortably but it's manageable. Will have to see what possibilities might exist with the trundle bed set up as I have a similar one in my sewing room.
