So...a neighbor gave me this sears saw that was collecting dust, and after a week or so of fumbling with outfeed support, I decided to build a table/stand for it...Here's what it began it's life and the sad attempt at support...
a quick trip to the borg for some timber and away I went...
steadily and slowly it began taking shape...
two layers of hardboard for the top and my 'marvelous' fence design ...
Slapped in a couple of drawers...
Which seems to hold the necessities nicely at hands reach...
couple of coats of satin polyurethane and it's work ready...
Even managed to install an old light fixture above it...
and as a kicker, I exchanged the original TS stand with my BS's stand as it has locking caster type wheels, much easier to move around now...
Anyways, that's what I've been up to lately, a 'tad'{} overkill for this little saw, but it's all screwed together, so up-grades are possible with-in reason. FWIW, the fence seems great so far, a little on the heavy side for sliding, but holds square, which surprises me{lol}...Now to build some storage underneath for shorts and what-nots, and a chute below the saw for dust collection...can't wait to see what I come up with when I get around to having 'real' dust collection
I truly need to find a real job, much more of this 'time to kill, with no money' could be the end of ever getting any respect
