Almost immediately after I purchase, set up, and test out a new tool, I start thinking about a stand or accessory to enhance the tool using experience. I start looking through my magazines and books for idea’s. Here are some of the things I’ve built. Having a good amount of square footage (1050) in my shop I didn’t have to worry about making them compact. For my table saw I wanted to be able to handle 4’x8’ sheets of plywood without any assistance. For my radial arm and miter saws I wanted the ability to handle long boards as well as have incorporated storage. The recent upgrade from a table top to a floor drill press, I replaced the old section of cabinet that the table top drill press sat on with this rolling cabinet. I wanted something that could be easily moved out of the way to lower the drill press table for drilling longer pieces. This is what I came up with.

David,
Good looking shop and work stations!
I was wondering if the holes in the base suports of the first photo serve any specific purpose. I was guessing special storage or weight reduction.
Many thanks,
CB

Yes I am considering moving miter station over to the left some. Also the holes in leg strechers are because I salvaged the wood from a rifle rack after I built a new one for my son’s ROTC unit in school. Can’t let usable lumber go to waste.

I see that you are using pvc pipe for dust collection. I do too, I make all my fitting work on the lathe. Are you having problems with static shock? I had to wind ground wire around the pipe to stop the shock jump. Too many welts from the static shock My trunk line is 6” down to 2” at small machines. It’s a lot cheaper than metal pipe and works as good. it’s just that static arch. Nice job with all the storage and table stations.
