Oh yea, I definitely used my crappy table saw to build it's new top. I haven't had much luck being precise with a circular saw. hmmm well I did make the plans on sketchup after I built it since a had a few friends asking... Maybe I'll get around to posting them I bought the wooden wheels on...

Honestly I love those casters. Got them on Amazon for $20. They look undersized but they are solid and roll like butter. The lock is 2 way so it keeps them from rotating as well as rolling. I think they are rated for 200lbs each Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yeaaa, but then I would have lots of time and no money.. [emoji12] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yea in the end, I decided I could live with the thickness I was losing. I didn’t really want the table saw top visible, I’d rather have a nice smooth top. And, id like to router out some grooves so I can add a sled later.. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yea thickness was something I knew I would be losing, but honestly I rarely cut bevels, and I still can cut through 2” of material, which is all I need for now. Sometime in the future I might router out a pocket in the bottom of the table top for the table saw to fit in, that could give me a...

I bought a $100 table saw a few years ago that has plenty power but an almost worthless table top and fence.. So I built a table to attach the table saw to. My requirements were a sturdy and easy to move fence with a built in tape measure, it needed to be big enough to make up to a 4’ cut, to...

I can always use more tools, sign me up!

This looks like a good project, I'll be following along. I love a good house flip!

Thanks for the kind words! Ha, that's exactly what I did. the jack and winch are both 12V and hook right up to the battery.

Sorry it's taken forever but here is a bad video. Doesn't show much but better than nothing. The latest enhancements include a 70lb concrete weight added to hold the back down. I painted it black, so it looks a little better now. And I finally built a gearbox to reverse the transmission...

I'll see what I can do! That is a good idea. I'll have to poke around on CL to see what I can find.

there we go, fixed it just for you. I am thinking about just making a concrete block since I have a bag of sac-crete laying around.

I have been slacking on my updates, so sorry about that. I haven't done much lately but I did get it operational and have used it a couple times already, it works pretty well. Here are a few pics in action: The last one shows the 2 levels I can place the forks to get extra height. The...

yea I think I will be lucky to pick up 500, that is my goal but that still might be pushing it. Not that I have anything that heavy to pick up...:headscrat

interesting, i'll have to look into that if it feels like it needs something. I did a test the other day with all my weight + a 2x4 contraption to simulate forks trying to see how easy it would be to pop the rear end off the ground, and it surprisingly wasn't easy. That 20HP B&S is pretty heavy.

She is almost functional! The mast and forks have been built, the scissor jack installed (to control tilt), and winch installed. I still need to connect the winch so I can actually test the operation. Everything is just tacked together so I haven't put any weight on forks to test how well it...

I thought about just flipping the belt but was worried about the belt rubbing in the middle where they cross? I did buy 2 spur gears I was planning on using to reverse the direction. Flipping the belt would sure be easier though if rubbing isn't a problem. As far as the axle support goes, this...

Haha, sure is. Makes a great scrap wood bin. Found it by the dumpster a few years back Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Well I have made a little more progress. I wound up removing the centrifugal clutch and taking it back to northern tool. After I installed it, it test drove it around the yard and the engagement just wasn't as smooth as I was hoping. It stayed engaged even at idle half the time so it was...
