Probably the best thing I've ever built. Same height as my table saw, so it serves as an out feed when I need it. But, mostly - it's where I've built hundreds of cables, read the mail, etc. It's my home away from home in the garage.

Crazy how many uses they end up filling- but it is a another project before the sub build for him! Now, making one while listening to teeth rattling bass? well that's just fine....

Re: First Build : Plywood Sourcing Challenges
I built it years ago, but even then I wondered why I had taken so long to do it. I can break down big sheets with a circular saw on it or use it as an outfeed for the table saw. I put power at both ends and there's a cutout on one end so that the table saw will butt right up against it. It has a fiberboard removable top that can be flipped or replaced.....something I thought I would have to do at some point, but never have.
My recliner, my office, and my workbench is where you'll find me almost all of my waking moments.
