I have absolutely no room for storing a saw bench in my shop. I am looking for ideas that would allow me to build one in 2 or more pieces. Something that would go together when I needed it and be as rigid as a 1 piece.

??????????????

Any ideas?

Thanks
Ray

I store my saw bench under the saw table of my contractor's saw.

Mine stays on the back patio, and has since I built it. When not in use, the Boss uses it as a plant stand......

Recently Christopher Schwarz has been on a Roman workbench kick:

The design could likely be the basis of a saw bench with removable legs. Add a pocket to the underside to hold the legs and it would be easy to store out of the way.
