The other day I told you how my old Craftsman table saw died mid-project and I had to fork out the big buckers for a new table saw.Well as it turns out, table saws (with a table attached) are almost twice the price of “job site” table saws (those with no table attached). We’re talking a $429 portable job site table saw versus a $799 one with a stand. That’s hefty for what is basically the same saw.I did a bit of research online and through Consumer Reports and decided to go with a 10″ Compact job Site table saw with Pro-modular guarding system. Fairly priced and one of the highest rated table saws. I’ve used it a few times and let me tell you, it is table saw LOVE over here. ( affiliate link – see disclosure at bottom)The downside is that without an actual stand for it, I have to cut my wood on the ground and it just doesn’t feel safe.I surfed for table saw plans online and came across a build by on Instagram. She very generously shared her plans with me and I modified them to create a smaller version of her table saw stand.I bought (6) 2x4x8 boards and one sheet of 3/4″ mdf for my build.

I hope this sounds more constructive than critical. You should have followed the Nikki’s original plans closer. In an effort to simplify her plans, you lost a lot of strength a workbench should have. It had 2x4s on edge with plywood on top of the base to create a torsion box for the base of the bench. Your plan is very weak on the middle and is already visibly sagging in your pictures. Not to mention the four 2x4s meeting at one point in the middle of the bottom is very poor woodworking technique you should not be teaching people.
You should fix this plan or take it down. Don’t make woodworking plans if you don’t know proper woodworking techniques. Or make friends with a local cabinet maker and coordinate your plans with them.
