I'm in the process of building one, but the pdf file was a bit confusing regarding measurements, can someone with the same bench pls post some pics and measurements... particularly the box and the swivel platform... thanks in advance...

I'm curious. Could you post a pdf of the bench or pictures or a web site reference.
Thanks,

Me too, that sounds like my type of bench. Bit Lazy myself.

I really can't find it and am having a hard time because the author said to make the 2x4 box first, but measurement is different.

timber715 · 01-19-2008, 06:28 PM

anyway, in the absence of a reply, I'm in the process of building one. hope it works fine. using scrap wood from all over.

Oh Hell here I thought it was something to lie on out in my yard! Still looks like something I may just build tho. My back up Dremel saw would work nice on one of these as my Dewalt has a nice enough factory stand.

As far as the measurements go, I see most everything there other than the dimensions for the legs and that would be determined by your height while standing or your stool height I would think. Custom fit for each person's tastes.

Good job on that table you did make!

part of the file says something which isn't in the diagram, that which confused me... went to thinking that there might be a hidden portion, but the diagram says none... anyway, one thing is for sure... Plenty of sawdust... hahahaha

btw, thats not my table, mine is halfway done...

I forgot all about that and went to HF and got a universal stand for my Delta saw. Thanks for reminding me about this one. I think I just found a weekend project now. And for those of you looking for this one it is free at this site:

He also has plans for a 'man powered' scroll saw if you want to check out the rest of his site.
