Take a look at the FOG (Festool Owners Group) website. Workbenches built from 8020 are a huge topic for discussion there.
Michael, I built a cabinet for the machine to sit on. It has drawers for bit and clamp storage, an open bay in the cabinet for the cooling water system, and an open bay in the cabinet for the...
This may have already been suggested, but they work very well:

Phil, very nice work! The ebony pulls really complement the cherry.
Thanks everyone for the great discussion and good points on both sides. As I said, I understand the challenge of keeping the content fresh. I suppose since I have been reading FWW for a long time,...
I have been a FWW subscriber for nearly 35 years, so I understand that keeping the content interesting year after year is a challenge. But, I still eagerly await each new issue. So I just read the...
Ken, I purchased an HD520 back in October. New Wave had the same deal going then with the spindle, so I have that as well. I had read a lot of negatives about the earlier models of the Shark, but...
I had a new one like that, really tight to slide on a 1-1/4 spindle. A little white lithium grease, and it went on with no problem.
I have the Jet JJP 12HH in a PortAMate PM3500 mobile base. This base handles the weight of the machine well, is easy to move, and is completely stable when locked down. I have had the Jet since...
Sam, chances are good that your spindle is 3/4", but those shapers also had a 1/2" spindle available too. You can measure the spindle with calipers to be sure. The book mentioned by the others is...
Do some research on Richard Poyner, who was a slave, bought his freedom and became a famous chairmaker in Franklin, TN.
My shopvac had the on/off pushbuttons. When the on switch stopped working, I took it apart and the contacts were burned. I went to Radio Shack and bought a rocker switch with the same voltage and...
I went to the Lie-Nielsen hand tool event in Nashville Saturday morning, and then on to the Fall meeting of the Cumberland Furniture Guild at Greg Pennington's shop/school where he gave a...
Looks like some used ones for sale on amazon:

I believe the late Danny Proulx was the author. He wrote a column in Cabinetmaker magazine and wrote several books.
It is made for that bench (Sjoberg Elite) with 1" diameter dog holes in a top that is about 3-1/2" thick.
I was there yesterday. Yes, venue was smaller, parking limited, and fewer vendors. But it seemed to me that the crowd was pretty good. Hammer (Felder) was there with a combo machine and a bandsaw....
I went with the Grip-Tite system years ago and haven't regretted it. There is a precision-ground steel plate that I screwed to my Biesemeyer fence and magnetic featherboards. I also have this...
For my 3hp Unisaw, I prefer the Forrest WW II (I have 4) for just about everything. Keep them clean and they last forever.
Remember, Stanley is responsible for buying/selling -off, and ultimately destroying what we knew as Delta.
Contact cement is the best adhesive for this task. Coat both the laminate and the substrate (mdf or plywood) and let dry. Space out 1/4" dowel rods 12-18" apart on the substrate, then lay the...
As others have said, Sears sold that machine as well as table saws, drill presses, and lathes built by AMT. They were built out of cast iron and sheet steel stampings. They were also sold direct...
Take a look at Cabinet Planner. It may be just what you are looking for.
On Saturday, went to the spring meeting of the Cumberland Furniture Guild and heard Don Williams speak on the Studley Tool Chest and also on finishing.
