maybe i can use a cast iron block as long as its small... how much would a FTO block weigh? 50kgs would be pushing it...... would it sit very high??i couldent see it being very large. i would be bolting the pistons or welding them to the top of the block for extra height but my couch is lowline anyway

simple would just put felt or carpet under block to prevent scratching and make it easy to slide around. Plus its a coffee table dont think you would be moving it very often? piston are very light mate beside its a table why does weight need to be a factor?
