Frank,

Great documentation - thanks for good tutorial!

Hey, that rolling outfeed table works well with many tools! It looks adjustable in height and length??? What brand is it?

Thanks!

Thanks Roy.

Yes I use the roller stand with my table saw, jointer, planer, and band saw, as well as my Festool multi-function table. I have the correct height for each marked on the side of the roller stand and it takes about 2 minutes to change the height.

The roller stand is sold by General International. See item 50-167 on the following web page: http://www.general.ca/pagemach/acces/universal.html

Christian, I am glad that you enjoyed the step-by-step photos and words. AT times I want a "traditional" workbench but at other times (like when I need to move things around), I am happy that I don't have one.

Frank, it's really hard to believe that you hardly miss a traditional workbench. How do you secure boards when you work with handplanes?
Ok, I admit that the best way to secure workpieces when routing might be a vacuum holddown.

Regards,

Christian

Hey Frank,
Nice pictures. The last one looks like a hard day in the shop, look pretty tired.

[Kelly C. Hanna]

Very nice project Frank!! Your posts are [as usual] very informative and this one is no different. I know the cabinet will be beautiful!

[Ken Fitzgerald]

Excellent progress so far Frank! I'm sure it'll be beautiful when finished! I really like the tools in your shop! I can't wait to get mine finished and start supplying it with new tools!

Jerry, Reg, Kelly (twice ), and Ken, thanks for the encouragement.

Christian, I do miss a traditional workbench sometimes, but the space saved by not having one is appreciated. If I can figure out a way to build.buy/modify a traditional bench so that it is mobile, I will probably get one someday.

I don't do a lot of hand plane work (I only own one plane) and, when I do, I find some way to clamp the work to the bench shown in pictures 17, 19, and 23.
