I recently moved my table saw from one end of my shop to the other side and no longer had the nearby shelves where I stored my table saw accessories. I decided to build a storage shelf that would also act as a extension for my table saw top.
It is nothing fancy…just useful, and it gave me a use for the 3/4 sheet of ply and the maroon formica that has been gathering dust in the corner. The trim around the top is cumaru…hard as a rock…and the plugs are walnut.
I wanted something to hang the woodpeck “T- Square” on without scratching it so I drilled the springs out of 2 wire nuts and screwed them to the cabinet side.
It took about 3-4 hours to build it. I am now thinking I probably will build a face frame and some doors to keep the dust out.
Well, update..I stopped thinking about the face frame and doors and built them this morning. I wanted to try something different. I had a 24”x48” x 1/4”section of heavy plastic pegboard that I decided to use as the panel. I made the rails and stiles and the pegboard fit like a charm. I can now hang some stuff on the doors.

I like this, a very nice design (and colorful too). I know the Incra fence is attached directly to the rails and rails to saw, but is the cabinet attached to the rails or the saw or is it free standing?

DocK16…The cabinet is bolted to the saw and the rails are attached to the cabinet. The picturre shows 3 brackets on each rail. I took the pictures before moving one bracket on each rail to the cabinet.. Very solid.
