I agree with you Serge. Once a while I need odd set up for odd operation. I just drilled holes of many sizes on my sacrificial workbench. Great idea!

Hi Serge,

Is the table to hold them while using or just for a good place to set them while working?

Always inventing something useful !! Thanks again , Serge : )

-- When did quiet and quite become the same word ? I'm guessing about the same time as your and you're did.

Beautiful innovation, keep doing the good work.

That belongs in a book. Wonderful.

I know this is “lumberjocks” but I’d sure love to make one of those out of 3/16” thick aluminum plating.

Thank you guys for your comments!

@David Kirkey: I use it primarely as a benchtop table on my workbench as support for workpieces to be clamped on. No tool is intented to be attach to it. I built it to raise workpieces so any blades or bits would reach and damage my workbench and I always found hazardous overhanging workpieces from the workbench. As mentioned, I soon found out that it’s great as router and circular saw stand, as well as router bit holder. The large hole was meant to be used when drilling while the V-notch and the slot to be used with the jig saw.

Best,

Serge

Serge, I made one from your plans posted in Shop Notes with a few changes to fit my style. I have used the heck out of it. Absolutely the best assistant I have had. And just yesterday, I added one of Kreg’s mini clamp plates in the center so I can mount the clamp vise when needed.

Actually, I have parts for my router fence glued, screwed and clamped to the table as I type
! :-)

Note: The table also acts as an extension support for my sliding miter saw. :-)

My project post is here.

@MT_Stringer: I just saw yours and you did a great job! Since you don’t have a workbench, the idea of making yours larger is clever. Being larger, the idea of adding a Kreg’s mini clamp plate, is clever as well. I like your bench dogs.

Best,

Serge

Hi Serge,
That is a great idea, who could not have used a couple of these.
They will get on my list once I find a new workshop.
Best thoughts and thanks,
