Thanks all, for the kind words. To answer a couple of the questions...
Gary: Yes, I plan to build a set of legs for it with some shelving under it, I need handy storage for hand tools, and little electric tooks, sanders etc... It's probably going to be a while though, as it's not high on the very long list.
John: not really level at this point, I havn't really shimmed it, and the floor isn't level in there. I need to do that, it is very FLAT though, which is far more important anyway. I don't really "store it", it's pretty much just sits there. It isn't that big, and is basically where the TS outfeed goes. I don't move my TS either, so it's not really a problem. Everything else in the shop is mobile, and I setup the TS so that I can get a car in there, if I ever put a garage door in. My shop is a garage that was converted to a room with seperate heating/cooling from the house.
As for weight, I dunno exactly, but I'd predict around 120-130 lbs. I used a sheet of 3/4 MDF for it, which is 100 lbs. David Marks used 1/2" mdf for the top and bottom of his, but I can't get 4x8 sheets of 1/2" easily around here. And since I'm not moving, I didn't mind the extra weight.
Larry: I've used is now on 2 projects, one that I'll post later this week, and another that is a mobile base for my benchtop drill press. I'm already in love with this thing, it has made my life MUCH easier. It was well worth the effort.
Thanks again,
