There is nothing - absolute nothing - half so much worth doing as simply messing-about in boats

About a year ago I decided to make my shop tools as portable as possible.  The first thing I did was put wheels on most of the large power tools, then replaced my contractor saw with a Bosch saw that folded up.  It is really easy to move about.  Of course I got almost all of the attachements too. Smile

Today I moved my miter saw off the bench and onto it own folding stand that is easy to move and store.

Good ideas there.  If I ever get back into the shop, one of my tasks is to try and mobilize and condense the tools I have.  When I bought my old drill press, it came on a cabinet that is just too big.  I'm trying to think of a way to make the drill press fold down into an outfeed table/bench I want to build for my stationary table saw so I can have more assembly room.

This is newest addition to replace the table attached to the old saw.
