You really do not need a special table but they are nice. A lot of what/where you put it on will depend on if you sit or stand while scrolling and also your height. My saws are on a stands and I sit on a tall (30") stool. I am 5'8" and this is comfortable for me. Try sitting it on a work bench and use it a while. One piece of advice. Once you find a comfortable platform/height you want to bolt your saw to it. That will greatly reduce vibration.
aww thanks carl an scott

Just about any flat surface will do, at least temporarily. Once you decide that you want a dedicated, permanent stand, you will have to determine if you want to sit or stand while scrolling. For good ergonomics, you want the table of the saw to be at a comfortable height. You don't want to be hunched over when cutting on the scroll saw. This will contribute to neck, shoulder & back discomfort.
Once you have an idea how high the stand needs to be, then you can decide if you want to build your own or make use of a bench/desk/table, etc. It's really all about getting the saw to a comfoprtable working level and having a solid base beneath it to minimize vibration. Beyond that, the design concept is wide open.

A modified Sue Mey pattern to fit 1" x 4" x 10" Hard Maple. Cut on the Pegas scroll saw using a Pegas #5 MGT blade. One side says "TEACH". Flip it over and the other side says "LEARN". After sanding, dipped in diluted Shellac, sanded again and another dipping. Comments...
