I am in the middle of making the single car garage into at least a Winter Work Shop.  Primarily Scrolling.

Have a Hegner 18" and I  want to build a STURDY toll around table for it.  I know there are plans out there

and building one is pretty simple....BUT....  I just LOVE to read others adventures with this.  Yes?

 

Thanks in Advance.................Danny  :+}

Hi Danny:

All of my stands are made with 2x4's and have castors on them

2 locking wheels and 2 swivel

Nothing fancy - screw the 2x4's together, add a piece of plywood, bolt your scroll saw

to the plywood and voila - good to go - SCROLL SAW TABLE

Table saw, planer,router,scroll saw, edge planer, a various wooden boxes for storage

All on wheels

I may expand these boxes and add drawers for more storage - 

WHY IS IT, WE NEVER HAVE ENOUGH STORAGE

Makes clean up easy

My scroll saw came with a stand so I bolted the stand onto a piece of plywood

added castors and everything is "wheel it in and wheel it out"

I have limited space so this works great for my situation

My favorite one I built using an old narrow kitchen cabinet someone was discarding.  It has a drawer and cupboard storage under the saw, the cabinet is narrow enough I can straddle it.  It has wheels for moving it around.

My husband built me one.  It's just 2x4's and plywood.  It's very heavy and sturdy.  No wheels because I didn't even think about it.  It's 24"L x 22"W x 20"H.  It's not very tall, but neither am I. lol  I still need to either paint or seal it.

Danny, building a scroll saw stand out of 2x4 lumber, cost about the same as buying a metal scroll saw stand. So, instead of building one out of wood, I bought a metal one and I don't regret it.

I'm not certain what you mean by the term 'table'.  Depending on what you mean, I might have built such a 'table'.

 

I built an alternative larger table to fit onto my Excalibur 30 scroll saw in order to handle a large piece that I was cutting.  I talk about and show this alternative table in the thread: http://www.scrollsawvillage.com/topic/17682-tap-dancing-in-the-rain-completed/?hl=dancing

Danny I got a free table with my Dewalt 788 but it was to high for me to sit and work. I went to Harbor Freight and bought this one. Be sure and get a coupon on line if you go this route.

I built one out of 2X4's and plywood too. I set the height right for me so that I can either stand (for when I need to move around doing larger pieces) or sit on a bar stool (when I'm doing small stuff). I don't have wheels on it, but have thought about adding them. At the moment, it's set in a good spot, so I don't need to move it unless I'm cleaning, which doesn't happen enough... or actually, ever.

Thanks for EVERYONE'S COMMENTS. 

 

DON....  Now with 25% off of $39.99 (yea plus taxes)  that Metal Stand looks Real Good.  Will head down there later.

                      Thanks for this info.                 Danny  :+}
