Haven't really seen many pictures let alone plans. (I've been looking too)
I think most people just bolt them down on a fairly heavy work bench.

But it should be a pretty easy build.

Priority 1 is bulk. The heavier and bulkier it is, the quieter and more vibration free your saw will be.

I'm thinking of making one with 2X3 softwood legs and frame, and a few layers of MDF to make a top, on which the saw will be bolted down. 3 legs will give you the most stable design for an uneven floor, but 4 is easier to make.

HI
I think if you do a search on the scrollworkshop magazine forum there is a plan for a nice stand

Hello,
I made my own here is what I did
I used 3/4 plywood and made it big enough for my scroll saw and dermal work station  and a spot for my hand sander  the frame is made out of 2x4 and the base is made out of 3/4 plywood now as far as the height goes you have to figure out what is comfortable to you and your chair. I put a power strip on the side with a extension cord on a hook and I used some wheels that lock  so now I can wheel it on the patio in the summer time and scroll and I can roll it in a trailer to take it to a craft show. I also use the base to store wood.  I have mine all open but now I wish it was all in closed cause of the dust. I use the air compressor to clean up. just reminder set your saw to the edge for leg room.

I designed the one that Russ pointed out (that's my garage door in the background of the photos)...I can send the plans to anyone that is interested...I couldn't post it here, because the file size exceeds the forum file attachment limitations.

Ripchief, I'd be interested in those plans if you don't mind. joesawdust2@gmail.com

Thanx, Greg

I bought the Dewalt stand with my saw from Grizzley.  Can't beat a stand engineered for the job.

If you didn't, or couldn't afford it at the time check CraigsList.  I found a Dewalt stand for $25.00! I'm sure it could be modified for other saws.

The Scroll Saw Table I created was built almost entirely from 3/4? A-C plywood.  It was built to mimic a workbench and auxiliary table which was the subject of an article in American Woodworker, Oct/Nov. 2009.  The article: ? Designs for the Hyper Organized Shop was authored by Jack Holmen.

My shop is housed in my garage so the need of portability of all tools is important so that cars can be housed in the shop space when no building activity is on going.  All benches and power tool supports are on casters to they can easily be rearranged to fit any purpose.  The scroll saw table is no exception.

The criteria for the saw table included portability, storage of saw tools and blades, adjustment of saw angle, stability of the saw and comfort of the work station.  I think I accomplished those items.

Photo 1


This first photo shows the scroll saw arranged with the other benches as supporting players in the work station.  The scroll saw platform has out rigger supports for the casters, a bin for waste bags, a drawer for saw blades and tools used with the scroll saw and finally wings to set things on such as  the small parts I am cutting and a coffee cup.




Photo 2


 A close-up of the table shows the drawer partially open, the wings for small parts being worked on and the table supporting the saw in an inclined position.  The inclined table is on hinges just above the drawer.  The wings are on piano hinges so they may be dropped down when not in use.

Photo 3 shows the ?elevator? piece to provide a variety of inclines to the saw support.  Also shown is the left wing and the open drawer.














Photo 4

The view from the rear shows a slim configuration with the two wings.  In the background the front out -rigger which supports the casters can be seen.  These out-riggers enhance stability of the platform.

This is a very stable platform and has worked well for me.  Its total cost was about $35.00 for the plywood, hinges and other hardware.  It does not creep across the floor on the casters even though the garage floor has a slight slope to it.  The finish is clear poly-urethane, two coats.   I made it in a week-end and have been using it for about 6 months.

plans bud, submit some plans.  I would love to make this.  It has a cool drawer, lil table flats for all the glue-wing and what not.  Like this table alot!!!!!
