rrich1 Posted January 21, 2017 Report Share Posted January 21, 2017 Figured I am going to be doing a few of these coming up and putting them into one thread might be a better idea. So far to upgrade the shop...I mean garage I have built the flip top table stand and a clamp rack. The next projects is more storage, this time for the table saw. I got the idea from Ryan at shop built on YouTube. He built a storage unit into the wing of the table saw. This solves a lot of problems and keeps the necessary tools and accessories close by. Need to get to the gym today so I was only able to get all of the pieces rough cut except for the bottom.The plan right now is to put it to the right of the steel extension wing. I'm hoping it won't be too much weight for the bars. I will need to drill a few more holes into the steel I believe.

rrmccabe Posted January 21, 2017 Report Share Posted January 21, 2017 I have no doubt the bars will be plenty strong. The biggest concern would be what you put in it as far as weight becoming tipsy. Definitely wasted space down there that would be nice to reclaim. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Micro jigs, extra blade, Angle guage, throat plates, and handle to move the router up and down. The heaviest thing would be a dado stack. On the other side I already built a router table so I don't think there will be any tipping issues.

metaljunkie Posted January 21, 2017 Report Share Posted January 21, 2017 That's a great idea. I have the same Delta table saw sitting in my garage at my other home. Let me know how it works out after you get it going. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

metaljunkie Posted January 22, 2017 Report Share Posted January 22, 2017 Those Delta saws take up a lot of room. It would be nice if it served more than one purpose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rrmccabe Posted January 22, 2017 Report Share Posted January 22, 2017 I have to say I like the wheel setup on your table saw better than most I have seen. Nice design. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rrich1 Posted January 22, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2017 Well...I've got another box! Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rrich1 Posted January 22, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2017 Well it is essentially done. I need to get some bolts to attach it to the rails as well as drill the holes. I routed out a spot on the lid and the box itself to make it easy to open. I used. 1/4" round bit but might switch it to a 1/2" to get some more grip. Lining up the door is a pain and at the moment isn't lines up exactly front to back. Might try to adjust it when it is on the saw or just trim the back and be done with it. Doesn't have to be lined up exactly. Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rrmccabe Posted January 22, 2017 Report Share Posted January 22, 2017 Looks great. You should be able to put light stuff like push sticks, etc on the inside door too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rrich1 Posted January 24, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2017 Project finished. Well done anyways. There is no finish on it. Should I put some on or just leave it bare? For the whole 5 minutes I've had it on I really like it. I see this being extremely useful. Before I didn't have any good places to put my router table parts. Now I do and everything for the table saw as well! Plenty of room to spare too. Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comp56 Posted January 24, 2017 Report Share Posted January 24, 2017 I think that turned out fantastic, I say color match the bottom and sides same Delta grey and top a beeswax 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rrmccabe Posted January 24, 2017 Report Share Posted January 24, 2017 Awesome. I was picturing it sideways but this is much better. Perfect place for that stuff. Good job! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's awesome Rich! If you wanted to finish it go for it, I'd recommend the same as Comp for the wax though. Make thing slide nice and easy. Color? That's a wide open book. Neat stuff dude! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tugnut1 Posted January 24, 2017 Report Share Posted January 24, 2017 This is the first time I am seeing a table saw insert for storage. Great idea. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rrich1 Posted January 24, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2017 Thanks guys. That one pic makes it look sooo big.@Foneguy no shop logo. I'm just an avid diyer. @ChrisK and@comp56 Ive never applied bees wax to anything before. I'll look into it.

comp56 Posted January 24, 2017 Report Share Posted January 24, 2017 this is what I use very easy to apply... Here 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisK Posted January 24, 2017 Report Share Posted January 24, 2017 Also while we are in the subject of wax....I use the sameness wax Comp posted but for my tools, cast iron and planes, chisels etc they get the Renaissance Wax treatment Although I have used it on wood for drawer runners I'd stick with Tim for cast iron after it's been treated. It's pretty expensive stuff comparatively. https://www.amazon.com/Renaissance-XTL-8004-Wax-Polish-65ml/dp/B003AJWN62 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rrmccabe Posted January 24, 2017 Report Share Posted January 24, 2017 I still have not found anything that protects the way I want. I have issues with getting rust on table saw as there is moisture in my garage from washing around the corner, etc. I have tried Boshield and Johnson's paste wax which I see recommended often. Does anyone have experience with Johnson's vs this Minwax. I am to the point that I really dont feel there is an answer so I just keep the rust removed and wax applied.I bought a table saw cover which was almost worse.

Clean the top and apply a coat or two. Jon heitz on YouTube did a rust test and it performed really well.
