Collapsible Table for the Shopdog Sawhorses

Looks like one incredibly solid and portable worktable!!

I just built these too. Very sturdy. I live in Michigan ( although it’s been warmer than Arizona lately, but not typically!) I need to be able to park in my garage so I face some similar problems you have with maximizing space. I’d love to share ideas with you in how to do this!

That’s a real nice set up for the collapsible saw horse tables coachman.
But with a shop as sweet as yours, one project a year just ain’t gonna cut it.
Now get it there and start making some saw dust ! lol

You located out west?
The back ground in your shots kind of give that hint.

Thanks for sharing your talent.

Incredible. I mean the whole arrangement. The cutting table is fantastic but I am more intrigued by the entire work shop.

Where in Arizona do you winter?

Ah your pictures and trailer bring back memories of days full of RVing. We spent years on the road traveling all over the USA. Don’t see many RV’s here in the Islands. We also spent many winters in AZ. I also had a trailer full of tools that was pulled behind the Motor home. Those were the days.

Thanks for all the comments. It looks like the shop photo brought in a lot of interest also. I am having a lot of fun setting it up, with the added challenge this time of doing it in such a small space. The majority of the tools I bought on Craig’s List so I don’t have a whole lot of $$ tied up yet. I bought a Shopsmith with the bandsaw, jointer and belt sander. I ended up cutting 18” out of the tubes to shorten it up, but still be able to use the saw function as well as power two tools. Most of my tools are on casters so I can shift things around depending on the project. Maybe at a later date I will post some more photos of the shop and what I am doing. Luckily we are located in Arizona, near Wickenburg, so I can get outside about any day when I need to cut sheet goods. Which brings me back to the cutting table. Several have asked me for the dimensions so here they are:

The table is made from 9 pieces of 3/4” plywood total a nominal 30” by 96”. All notches are 2” deep by 3/4” wide.
A. 4 pieces 4” by 8’ Notches at 12”, 48” and 84”. The center notch is cut on the top edge with the two outer notches on the bottom edge.
B. 2 pieces 7” by 4’ Notches at 4” and 16” from each end. All notches on same edge.
C. 1 piece 4” by 4’ Notches as in B.
D. 2 pieces 3” by 4’ Screw to the bottom, non-notched edge, of the 7” pieces.

Let me know if you have any questions.
