Title: I finally got it off the bench
Post by: mamell on July 01, 2016, 07:54:08 am

So I built this handy and cheapo stand for my cheapo saw. The legs are 2x4s laminated together and held together with tenon and mortises.
The front leg is a leftover from my bench build, one that I messed up and didn't align the mortise correctly so I just relocated it. These are almost all leftover scraps from other projects and one piece on top from a trash pile..
Anyway it works great and is rock solid. Someday I might add some wheels on the side to tip it up to move, but it's not real heavy so moving it isn't all that tough for now. Unlike the rest of you I'm not getting any younger* so that may change someday.

Mamell- nice design and thanks for showing your stand.  today we talk in terms of recycling and your stand has certainly met the "going green" trend.  Plus you don't have that inventory of lumber taking up space. you get 3 thumbs up in my book.  Cheers Brian
