Hello everyone,

I am going to be building a cutting stand using this basic design http://www.tameshigiri.com/make_a_stand.html

Instead of the dowel I will have a small flat square on top to place a pumpkin or other melon on. Is there a certain height you would reccommend based on my height or something? Is there a standard or average height to use?

I imagine one would need one stand for melons and another for tatami or pool noodles.

Thanks for your help.

You can use one stand for both with some modifications. See here for my cutting stand:
