This is a project idea I got from WOOD magazine. I modified the plans to suit my needs. Since I share the garage with my wife, I have to set up shop on the drive way. I wanted a mobile work center where I could perform several operations and store the tools I frequently use. The table saw is a Ridgid TS3650 upgraded with a Beisemeyer fence and outfitted with a Bench Dog router table extension. The work top is a solid core door banded with walnut with a 9” Rockler vise. The edge banding and drawer fronts are maple. The drawer pulls are walnut, and the cabinet case is MDO plywood.

Great job.
I’ve never seen anyone remove the legs of a 3650, which is a good saw on it’s own. But, I like this set up a lot better. I recognized the base of this right away. I built the same one, but with the flip top table. It’s in my blog. Seeing this, makes me want to finish mine.
Nice touch, adding the vise on the end.

Great project!
That packs a lot of woodworking in to one unit.
Very smart idea.
I have been trying to compact my new shop space to fit my needs.

Now, where the heck have you been?
One project posted in almost 2 1/2 years?! LOL

Let’s start seeing some cool projects being knocked out with that awesome workstation!
You have no excuses with that set up now!

I LOVE IT! A while back I took both my two big Delta contractor’s saws and bolted the cast iron tops side by side into one big double bladed saw, then threw out the legs and made a base cabinet with a giant bench like yours. It works fantastic!

Excellent Job, Very Beautiful Cabinet, I am making mine from leftover wood scraps, Kind of like Dolly Parton’s song “Coat of Many Colors”. But it will be very useful just as yours will be now. Great job.
