Miter Saw Bench

I have finally got the bench made for the mitersaw, it is 8 feet long with extra floorspace to accommodate extra long pieces of wood. The shop floor space seems to be shrinking really fast. I also have to use part of the space for storage, which really restricts the overall space. I am trying to sort through though some of the storage and get rid of some of the stuff.

The underneath of the workbench is a storage space for wood 8 feet long. I originally wanted to put guides and supports for wood being cut but am now thinking of doing something more portable so that I can use that area for a table top too.

I still need to buy a router and a table saw as a minimum to getting the shop into operation. The workshop takes another step toward completion.

My First Project

The first thing I did was to build a work Table. There was one there attached to the wall, but was not big enough and had no bottom shelf. So I carefully dismounted the old table saving the old lumber and build a new table. I only had to buy 3 - 2 x6's for this project, as I recycled most of the lumber from the previous work table. I thought it came out pretty darn good.
