I understand that rehabbing a tool isn't for everyone but I've really enjoyed doing this.
The last few evenings at a close friends shop he & I have been making oak frames to fit between the fence rails on both the right extended table & the left for a router table & gluing up the double layer of MDF the will go inside of the oak frames.
Not counting the front fence guide rail the total top length will be 86" I think this should weigh in around the same weight as the same saw with both cast iron wings & a table extension.
We also made a 1/8" steel bracket for the power switch.
The switch mount doesn't show in the pictures but you'll see it in future pictures. :D
Still lots to do with assembling the table & left wing & gluing on the laminate & mounting the table & router wing, routing the hole for the router plate, cutting the Dust collected hole & mounting a dust gate, wiring the switch & welding up the mobile base.
Then take it all apart & transport it to my shop.
