    An idea for a miter saw bench

    I thought I’d post my current miter saw bench in my AZ garage. I've used the set up below in my last three shops but it just took up too much floor space in my current shop. Sorry for the crappy picture I sold the above stand and tried a portable Dewalt stand for a short time. Good for...
