Mr Trippy Posted September 10, 2010 Report Posted September 10, 2010 Hello everyone, This is my vision of the ultimate scroll saw bench. I started with an old bathroom vanity for the base. When you first look at my ultimate scroll saw bench you think “Hey that bench is awesome, but what if I want to do a project that requires more space then what is providedâ€. Well, with a lot of planning and custom cutting for the top frame work I have that covered. All you do is pull two pins one on each side and the whole top bench sides swing open now you can cut any size you want with no obstructions in the way. I also installed a scrap bin that is removable for easy dumping. There is an over head light that slides front to back and when you need to swing the sides open it just pulls off. Plenty of pegboard space for whatever storage you need. Used PVC pipe with end caps for my blades (works awesome) and hung a smaller swinging pegboard with frame so I can swing the blades into me and back out of the way. Also set up a vacuum hose, a box fan with removable filter at the back of the bench for dust removal, a mag light, extra air pump to blow dust off projects, an on-off switch inside the cabinet to power the whole bench, and of cores a custom beverage holder. I used a nice boat seat that I had around in my shop, because if you are going to be spending a lot of time at one station you want it as comfortable as possible and boy let me tell you it is all that and then some. Well hope you liked my vision of the ultimate scroll saw bench. Thank you for looking, Trippy Quote
Firedkm Posted September 10, 2010 Report Posted September 10, 2010 I have to say some real good thinking went into this project. Great job! Quote
Kepy Posted September 10, 2010 Report Posted September 10, 2010 Great job. I really like the way you installed the fan and filter, it should work great. Now if you just had a mini fridge underneath and a potty chair, you would be all set for all day. Quote
Huntter2022 Posted September 10, 2010 Report Posted September 10, 2010 That looks like a very well thought out project But Jack and power equipment do not work together . you didn't see the port-a potty under the chair and one of those fancy sprayers so you don't have to stop scrolling to wipe lol Quote
Travis Posted September 10, 2010 Report Posted September 10, 2010 That's awesome! You really made yourself a great workspace! Now you got me thinking of putting together a workspace too. I especially like the scrap bin and beverage holder. Nice job! Quote
grampa Posted September 10, 2010 Report Posted September 10, 2010 Thats great Trippy, The chair looks comfy and I like the beer holder I could spend all day at that workstation............Paul Quote

Lastchance Posted October 9, 2010 Report Posted October 9, 2010 Nice job all the way around. I see a sliding Crown Royal bottle holder in my near future....... now I just need to find someone to donate a unopened bottle of Crown Royal Question, is there anything that you would have done different now that you can look back at what you built?

Mr Trippy Posted October 12, 2010 Author Report Posted October 12, 2010 Well Chance to answer your question no I wouldn't change a thing, but I did add some 4" casters. Now it is so easy to move around the shop. Thank you for the question, if anyone else has any questions I will answer them. Thank you, Trippy Quote
Pixman Posted October 15, 2010 Report Posted October 15, 2010 I understand the Jack Daniels, but what do you use the Loctite for ? Great Project. Now add mini speakers for music while you work Magic Quote
