Nice job Bob;

Next time your at the shop, remind me to show you the one we take to job sites.

Very nice Bob. Great job.

Looks like a great workstation. Thanks for sharing, Bob.

This is a nice job, Bob. I like the idea of the fold down extensions. My miter saw stand span is just short of 9’ and it takes some maneuvering to get it in and out of the garage since it only has a total clearance of about 4”. It works fine when I am working on long pieces but does present a challenge to move it around. I may have to look into reducing the extensions and adding supports as you have done.

Thanks for the post.

Really nice… this is on my list of to-do’s for shop furniture.

Favorited for future analysis! What do they say? Imitation is the highest form of flattery?

Very nice – do you have any pictures of how the outriggers are hinged and braced? How do you keep them aligned?

Derek, The outriggers are held up with the French Cleast system. Take a few blocks of wood, cut a 45 degree angle on them and attach as shown. Then cut the outriggers with 45 degree cuts to the correct length.

Bob,
That’s a nice rig. Very smart with the french cleats. Is there on-board storage for the down-riggers in the rolling mode? Dead flat and with storage…good job.

The outriggers fold down with hinges and they are supported by 3/4×3 x 20” support pieces. When not using the supports, they hang on a nail on each side.

Glad you like it.

I have that same saw, and I swear by it. Have done 100’s upon 100’s of feet of trim, and the miters always come out just right. I like your workstation. I need to make something so that mine isn’t just sitting on my workbench.
