I showed this on another thread and had some nice comments. I share it here also.
(The first) topic made me think I'm doing something VERY different but I really like it. I bought my scroll saw without a stand so I had to build my own. After considering what I liked and didn't like as well as what I thought ought to be added I came up with the following design.

I roll it to the center of my garage and it's caster drop into a control joint in the concrete floor so it does not roll any further. The two collapsible side wings provide places to set parts in progress of being cut. The area below the saw holds an old salt bag for scrap storage.

For the record I've got about $30.00 tied up in it.
