Star Wars Miter Saw Station

I built a miter saw station that is mobile, has dust collection, and looks like it came out of Star Wars!

A rolling cart for the scrapwood that you're too stubborn to throw away.

I wanted a cooler push stick for making cuts on the table saw.  And what's cooler than Star Wars?

Finishing my Workbench

Here's how I finished off my workbench by adding bench dog holes, a bottom shelf for storage, wheels, as well as a couple different colored stains and finish.

Scrap wood shelves for scrap wood

I needed shelving for my scrap wood, and I had plenty of scrap wood to use. There is nothing complicated about this. I just cut some wood into similar shapes and screwed them together with more wood.

The new centerpiece of my woodshop.  And I built the entire thing for under $100.

Every dad needs a mallet to whack things into place.  So I built a set.

Tablesaw Sled

I didn't own a tablesaw sled to make quick and easy 90 degree cuts.  I also own a Craftsman tablesaw with non-standard slim slot runners.  Here's how I solved both problems.

Air compressors are heavy.  So I built a cart to easily wheel mine around the shop.
