Dry cut saw workstation

I knew I had to do something similar, I don't have a cabinet to start with so this one is going to be from the ground up, or top down as is the case here since I need to make the saw rotator first since I want the total finished height to match my work bench.

Part 1 discusses how I go from idea to thumbnail sketch to a working drawing and parts list.

Enjoy!

Make my table height 36" please.

What kind of changes to you plan on making?

Use the pockets on your right leg. If it wasn't for that I would never find my pencil. Be sure to check before doing laundry.

Very cool!

Thanks man, As linked in the OP I stole the basic idea and made it my own.

Have to admit that I love this thing now that it is done, makes cutting so much easier

Nice work, Thumper. I'm going to steal some aspects of your design when I do mine; if I can ever get to it.

Do you think there will be any issues with your supports and your future drawers?

Do you think there will be any issues with your supports and your future drawers?

The supports are behind where the drawers/shelves will be, but I was planning on redoing the supports with a hinge design I just did not have the proper materials on hand.

Like I said in the video, it is done enough to use and I have other paying projects to do before I revisit this.

Yeah its functional and gets you to work. Make it pretty later. Awesome build and some good ideas.

Thanks, Sometimes you have to know when to stop and move on to more important things, (Paying things).

Yours look very close to the first version I built.

My first one was very underbuilt and the first time I put a large piece of tube on it the decks tweaked.

My current unit will support material heavy enough to require me to use a hoist to load it.

No issues so far and I have had several hundred pounds on it, okay to be honest I stood on it and bounced to check it for flex, that would be 250 plus the bounce.

The wings might be the weak spot but I leaned hard on one wing while my son did the same on the other and there was little flex.
