So it has been busy with a new baby and among other things so I haven’t had much of a chance to build anything. I am excited to be able to post again.
This started with the switch going out on my table saw. With limited funds I built this out of scrap lumber which included a few pieces of plywood, mdf, particle board, and even a broken Ikea Cabinet. To make it nice we had some paint left over that I slapped on to make it uniform. I got a fantastic deal on the Delta Fence and was able to use that.
The table saw is the 10” Delta and the Router is Ryobi with table. The doors cover a dust chute under the saw. The drawers add extra storage though I had to use the variety of slides I had left. It still works and I can’t believe the space.
Finally the thing is on casters so I can pull it out in my garage and use it. The front casters lock and I will say with the weight and the casters locked the thing doesn’t move with full sheet press on it.
I have been able to do so much more with this. I can cut 8’x4’ sheets with ease. The routing table is fantastic and it has enable me to do so much with accurate ease and quick adjustments.
It is simple, It is easy, and. . . it is too big. Seriously. I don’t have room in my garage to store it now. Sigh. . . I will have to see if there is an interested party to take it so I can build something much more manageable with space I have.
Too bad – because it turned out better than I expected – especially after the initial plan was to just fix the switch on the saw.

Yeah, I see the car in the background there. It amazes me that some people think garages are for cars.

I am with EE cars go outside. garages are for working. the only time I park inside is when I am working so I don’t have to get up early to scrape windows. When I am laid off all 3 cars go out. My shop is 26×30 and I can pull in my extended cab Silverado in to work on it. all I have to do is move my 20” planer and air down the tires so it will go under the door. It’s got 11” of lift. just tell your wife the house is hers so you get the garage. My wife knew this before we got married. I remember one year I was out of town and told her to park inside and she said no, that was my space. I don’t think she even goes in the unless I am out there.

Great idea. You must have the same issue as me..not having that much room? I have a similar piece in my shop except I have it as a combination assembly table, router bench, planer compartment, plus storage. You can see my project in my galery. Thanks for sharing.
