I like the look of the scissor trusses, but would miss the additional space I get with my attic trusses. Great place to ride a bunch of junk. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I am thinking about using something like this and creating a extendable arm. Probably two segments, with a pivot point near the ceiling and one about a third of the way down to the saw. Trailer hitch balls could be used for the pivots, but I am not sure if they are big enough to create enough...

What you are saying is to have the ladder fold all the way to the floor, then lock with those feet? Might want to hinge the ladder just below the saw so that it takes up less room when folded up.

I remembered why I did not want to mount it to a track on the wall. I can find room for the track and saw on the wall, but I never have the adjacent room to handle the long lengths of lumber. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

This is a great idea. That may be my next best solution if I cannot figure out how to ceiling mount it.

Good catch. I clearly did not give enough information. 9' finished ceiling. 24" OC trusses 4/12 pitch roof Height of the saw is roughly 2' Bottom of the saw currently sits at 3" So I need to be able to extend or pivot the saw down 4'. In line with what others have mentioned, here is one...

No room under any of the workbenches. I have all this unused ceiling space which is why I started thinking about some sort of drop down mechanism. I too use a receiver setup for my bullet vise, but would rather not use it for the saw. GJ people are the most ingenious people on the planet. I...

The saw itself has some extensions and I have adjustable stands that can be used for support. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Yes, simplicity is not in our nature. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

The only reason I was trying to avoid something wall mounted is there is always a lot of stuff near the walls. So when I want to use it I have to move a motorcycle, mower or other stuff. The center of my garage tends to be more open. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

The darn thing is heavy and cumbersome. Putting it on a shelf will be a lot more work when I want to use it. Plus I find it to be an interesting project to do. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Had not seen this one. Could be a contender.....minus the music. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Calling all you engineer types. I have a miter saw on a portable stand that takes up precious wall space in the garage. I could fold up the stand and hang it from the wall, but then it would be a pain if I just needed it for one quick cut. I was thinking about cobbling together a...

I hooked up the Nest last night with the wiring as I had drawn it out. Seems to be working fine.

Boiler is for hydronic baseboards. It is not connected to the air handler. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
