I wanted to build “built-in cabinets” and a number of other small furniture for my wife’s 4-room apartment which is on the 4th floor. The apartment is about 35KM away from my present home I live in. I cannot do most of the work in the garrage because my wife bought a new car. I also cannot carry my router table, workbench & tablesaw up to the fourth floor. So I had to make really simple and quick router table, workbench and tablesaw.
The tablesaw is really very quick set up one. I converted the Circular saw into tablesaw dedicated to ripping job only.
Wanna laugh? ok join me, Ha ha ha.
Thanks for looking.

I can enjoy your workbench cum tablesaw as much as I enjoy my leafblower cum dust collector. Whatever works, friend.

No laughing here, just admiration. When I was a young boy,7 or 8, my father made a similar tablesaw using his Rockwell saw and a sheet of plywood, only his sat on some milk crates. He built a helofalot from that setup.This has helped me be the carpenter I am today.
It shows the skill of a craftsman to know the many unintended uses for a tool and how to make do with what ya got.
Good work!
And I must say, Nice Splitter!

Very innovative and the table saw even has a splitter .
This setup will save a lot of time being right at the work site .
Good thinking, well done .

What an excellent exercise in problem solving. I like the way you tied the sawhorse legs all together to make it solid and got extra mileage out of the brace by using it as a support for the bottom shelf. The longer surfaces should really help in working with larger materials. It is an eminently practical and clever solution to a complex problem. Good luck with the cabinet build.
Thanks for sharing and taking us along on your creative adventures in a land far from my home.

Nothing to laugh about.I also work with simmilar home made table saw with fixed saw and another circular hand saw beside that for angled cuts.I made some cross cut sleds and it serves me perfectly.
Again nothing to laugh about!

This reminds me of my dads tablesaw from Sears (around 1960). The circular saw mounted under a stamped steel table with brackets and wing nuts. He wore out the saw using building simple cabinets and other projects over the years.
Well done, sir!

I am happy to see there isn’t one comment about guards and other assorted crap.
Well done, My first tablesaw was exactly that. Plunge cut that sucker, and go!
Wait a cotton pickin’ minute, is that a splitter? Hah!, cheater!
