I have searched the web and this forum for some plans to make a good tool stand. I know I could just build a 2x4 frame one but I thought that there would be some more creative ideas out there. I currently have a spindle sander, robi bench table saw, benchtop drill press, belt/disc sanding station, and a scroll saw. More is to come and I need some stands. Can anyone point me in the right direction or am I better to go and buy the harbor freight tool stand of doom?
DIY tool stands?

Hard to argue with Thom & Pappys pictures, Great Stuff.
As has been said, there are plans in magazines and on the web for about anything you want.
Just last night I was at the Woodsmith Store and ordered a 6" Avenger dado set, since they are currently out of stock.
Can never get past the Library while there and brought home a book.
" Building Workstations" by Danny Priloux, there are plans instructions and measured drawings and parts lists for 12 shop cabinet projects. I would reccomend it to anyone who wanted to know how to start. It is not cheap at $24.95 retail, but 12 projects at just over $2.00 per. is really pretty cheap plans?
This is the second book by Danny I have bought(I would buy more when I find them), and he makes what seems complicated, very easy and simple enough any one could follow.Sanity is just a one trick pony. Being a bit Crazy is a wide open field of opportunity!Comment
