My latest project, a table saw workbench/out feed table. The whole deal is on locking casters, so it's easy to move around. I have a shelf on the bottom for storage of my tool tote, circular saw, drills etc. Then there's a shelf under the top for a hardware storage box, and I have my socket set tucked in on the other side. Under the saw there's a drawer for extra blades, and whatever else I don't need all the time. Dust collection is achieved via a (removable) cardboard shroud at the back of the saw, and an angled panel under the saw that both dump into a ramped section between the vertical support legs. It's all boxed in with plywood, and then I used a hole saw to drill through the side to hook up a vac. It's not perfect, but it works well enough for now. It keeps the dust off the bench, and out of the drawer underneath, so I'm happy with it. Future plans, maybe MDF for the top instead of the 2x6's, and maybe another drawer or two under the top for quick access to hand tools.

Re: Latest project: table saw workbench
Looks nice Mike. I can see some thought went into it. Some good ideas there. I see the Ryobi has been replaced...Tritrix HT:http://techtalk.parts-express.com/sh...d.php?t=222519

And yeah, sadly, the Ryobi was lost in the firebut the new dewalt is pretty nice, and the rack and pinion fence is sweet. It's a bit louder than the BT3000 was, and no belt drive, but I like it, overall it's a good deal.

To answer your question, no, I haven't built a sled yet, but I do plan to. I'll be sure to post a new thread when I do. In fact, I'll probably just start a shop build thread since that's basically what I'm going to be doing, starting over from scratch. I agree, we could use a few good how-to threads around here. I know there are a bunch out there on other woodworking forums, but not everyone here needs a full blown dedicated wood shop to build speakers :D It would be nice though.

I also took advice from one of the members on here, and painted the walls with a porch and floor paint, and I'm glad I did! It's super durable, and totally washable, so no grease stains on the walls from wrenchin' on the car :D Sawdust doesn't seem to stick to it either (like the flat white paint they usually use) but if it ever does I can just take a push broom to it and not worry about leaving marks on the walls.

I'm glad that my advice on the porch and floor paint worked out well for you, I love that stuff.
Yes, your garage is far too clean. You can have me over whenever you want and I will help you dirty it up a bit!!!

Well, I haven't cut any MDF in there yet, so I'm sure once I do, I can kiss that squeeky clean look goodbye :D
