New work station

Nice job!. Looks very functional. As they say necessity is the motherhood of invention and that’s one mother of a workstation.

Cool looking work station, well done!

Nice workstation and good combination of tools. Never thought of the router table and miter station. Will have to remember that one.

Good use of your space>

Thanks for the comments guys, some other notes on this project, The butherblock is 27” X 27” and 2 1/4” thick. Almost all of the wood came from scraps my freind Doug donated 2 years ago, the rest came from my own scraps. It took about 2 1/2 weeks to build, but that was due to a cold snap here in minnesota, my garage was somewhere aroung 10 degrees, and limited shop time to about 30 – 40 minutes at a time, also rechargeble batteries don’t seem to last long at that temp.

Hi Andrew,
I really like the setup, seems like a very efficient use of space. You mention that the vise was only 30 dollars, can you provide some information on this. I’m in the market for a basic vise, but haven’t seen a price that good.
Thanks, Dan

Hi Andrew,
I like your set up. A good design well made.

Hi Andy i see you shimmed your chop saw to level it how about shimming the legs on your stand if that makes sence then you can hot glue them in place so they dont move again

What’s the R2D2 looking thing clamped to the miter saw table?

-- My broker promised me he would treat my money as if it were his own. Trouble is, he did.

Thanks, Pommy, did I mention that my garage was about 10 degrees at the high while I was building it. Technique goes out the window during periods of Hypothermia, The lega are acrually shimmed, then screwed to the front and side boards on the bottom and then it was too late to shim more. Once I make the miter saw fence extension for the butcher block, then I will bolt everything down, and clean up the shims.
JJ- R2D2 is a clamp clamp ( holds and rotates an F style clamp), I kind of just put it there as its home was destroyed to make this bench. It hasn’t gotten in the way, but I should find a new home for it. Thanks for the comments.
