I guess it's not finished yet. The challenge for me is to design a fence that is removable. For everyday in the shop, I like to keep the main surface open. I have good lighting there and like to work on the hard masonite surface. But I do want a full length fence with a measuring tape mounted on its top and a movable stop-block for repetition of cuts. I have the wall space above the chopsaw station to hang this removable fence. But the fence needs to be fairly light weight and easy to mount ... and very accurate after mounted. Maybe this is a tall order?? Chester I am still trying to figure-out the best way to do a long left-side fence for my chopsaw station. I guess it’s not finished yet.

The design is meant to be a mobile stand that would be used by a contractor on a job site ... mounted, stradling saw-horses. See http://woodtalkonline.com/gallery/album/486/89-chop-saw-station/ I have the chopsaw station bolted-down in my shop but it would be fairly easy to pop out and load into a pickkup. The thing I like the best is that I have a large surface with the saw set, down below the main surface. You will see some designs, where the saw sits on the main surface and uses a narrow extension platform that also sits on the main surface. I use the main surface for many things, in addition to being an infeed for the chopsaw. Does this answer the question? My chopsaw station design is a design that I got out of a magazine.

I'm on the cusp of building one and been toying with making it mobile. Do you like it stationary and does it limit you at all? Just curious, how do you like your miter saw stand?

It is the same units you see in Motels. It cost me about 1200 and does a fine jog. It is about 20 degree here now and the shop is a nice 68 degrees You can see it in picture 4 under the Radial arm Saw Gerald

You've got to be proud. As many others have said, that is the dream sized space for me. I like how it is a dedicated space, detached from the house, yet you have a cover that ties it in and protects you from the elements to get there. Thanks for sharing, and congrats on your new baby!
