I thought I would be 100% done on this today and everything was looking good, then when I mounted the chop saw and bolted it down, it placed just enough weight to drag on the drawer and make me grit my teeth. oh well, tomorrow I’ll pull out the drawer and work the problem. Other than that, I made a matching walnut drawer handle to mount as soon as I finish getting the fit just right. The majority of the project is 3/4” furniture grade oak plywood and I added some walnut trim pieces and inlay to the drawer to improve the overall looks. With the wings folded out it measures just over 8 foot wide so I can cut 12 foot boards with no problem. I also made a slide out shelf to mount my grinder to. There are two pieces of oak 2×2 glued together mounted to the bottom of the shelf so I can place it on my work bench vise. I plan on making two more matching carts. One will be for my spindle/belt sander and the other will be for the thickness planer. That will make moving them around in the shop much easier.

Almost too pretty to get sawdust on. Good job.

Looks too pretty to use as a lowly chop saw stand!

That is a nice chop saw station. You have combined both form and function. Very nice. After seeing posts like this I am going to have to re-do mine. (Deep sigh) another project added to my ever growing list.

Is this an original design or did you get plans for this beautiful workhorse? I know someone that is very interested in building something like this.

I saw one of similar design at the Norfolk, VA Wood Craft shop. After asking them if I could shoot some pictures they said yes. After getting my pictures, one of the employees said they had a book with the design. After some searching, I found it. Title: Ingenious Jigs & Shop Accessories ISBN#:1-56158-296-4
I got the plans from the book. Gary, Scott, and Karson helped me build it so I’ll place credit where credit is due. Here it is for around $9.00 http://www.powells.com/cgi-bin/biblio?inkey=1-9781561582969-4

Plans are only as good as the people who execute them, and you did a great job of execution on this. I am needing something for my miter saw, and I think this will be just the thing. It looks a lot better than mine will though, I’m sure.
Again, good job.

I’ve been accused of this myself, but that is WAY to nice a piece for shop use! Great job, Brian!

Sweet! That looks like it belongs in the living room, not the shop! That’s gotta make you smile when you walk out to the shop :).

I like the wing design. I made a similar table for my chop saw and I wanted to put some wings on it like yours. Could you elaborate on the design…maybe some additional pictures showing the construction details. Nice work.
