I trust you know how to make DIY headset press/removal tools, in case someday you do need it; but that is so rarely needed, it's not a significant inconvenience to pop into an LBS and pay them $5 to pop a headset in/out for you.

For your coffee table/work stand, do you just put the bike upside down? I can imagine a coffee table with a removable center strip that you could drop your wheels down into, kind of like a bike rack...
