Really cool! Great stuff! Love the drill lift mechanism. Love the dogs at the beginning of the video.

Noticed your video re table saw storage cabinet. Nice work! Especially what you did with the leveling feet. My workbench was too low, so I made new “feet” to go under the legs at each end. These feet protrude about 2.5-3 inches, front and rear. Drilled a hole down through each foot, so I could adjust the slotted leveling feet from above. I have also used “heavy duty leveling feet” that take an Allen wrench at the top of the stem. Similar to a cap screw. Later, I discovered “leveling mounts”, generally used for industrial equipment, and found one that would take a standard hex head bolt. Place table saw on wood 2x4 base, with Tnuts installed on underside. Slide the leveling mount beneath the table saw and install the bolt from the top. Much more durable than any commercial leveling foot, and easy to adjust from above. Best wishes!

Very nice build, interesting approach! So many things can be done with a “four bar planar linkage”. The architect’s lamp on my computer table, and the floor lamp by my chair are just examples. And links of unequal length can produce all kinds of motion. I’ve also seen people build workbenches with integrated jobsite saw or planer that pull out and lift into position using this same kind of linkage. Also saw the video of your camera stand. Got me to wondering if this could be used for a mobile base (table saw, assembly table, etc) with retractable casters. Stay safe!

Really nice build! In particular, I like a number of aspects: the integration of the dust separator, the use of HDPE blocks, the use of a lead screw & nut, the use of the pillow block bearings…Very nice! Questions: In the first video, a comment was made, something about the bearings not being perfect; could you clarify or expand on that please? Any suggestions or recommendations would be appreciated. Why use threaded rod and epoxy to secure the clamping blocks? Why not use Tnut and bolts? Or embedded nut and machine screw? Just wondering about the reasoning. One of the issues identified in the first video was the distance between the center of mass and the lead screw, but that still appears to be an issue. Would it make sense to add some weight on the opposite side of the lead screw, to balance things out? Or would that overload the motor? Or is that just not an issue in this design? I would love to see a follow-up. Thank-you so much for sharing this project! (PS: also noticed your table saw storage cabinet and bank of drawers videos - two projects I really need to build!)😊

Nice, however if you have a table saw and a bandsaw and all the rest, you would probably spend a bit on a good router lift. You have the space and money.
