Mechanism Tutorials?

I could use some help finding a mechanism tutorial. I've been trying to learn it on my own but it seems quite confusing. I've done a lot of google-ing too and can't seem to find much.

Searching this forum I've seen a few posts raving about this website:

But when I open it up it just brings me to a glorified search engine with results for "Pro Engineer" and "Mechanism".

Here's a picture of what I am trying to make into a mechanism:

I'm just trying to make a simple lift table so that when I drag the table-top down the scissor arms will close with it.

Thank you,

I found this useful, maybe you could find a second-hand copy.

Thanks Kennpy, I may look into purchasing a copy of that book. But for now it would be great if I could find something online.

Troudt, I wasnt able to open the link you provided. When I copy pasted it into both firefox and ie i got an error.

But I was able to go to the Sharptechdesign website and find some tutorials for mechanism on that. I'll look through them here. Thanks for the help!!

This hasn't been updated recently, but may still have some helpful information.
