Super Space Saver! - Table Saw Stand For Garage Workshops

When your garage workshop needs to be a garage and a workshop!
I designed this space-saving table saw station as an option for people who use their garages as weekend workshops.
Using a simple folding mechanism a table saw can be folded into a more compact position and stored out of the way. When the saw needs to be used it can very easily be folded into a working position and be pe packed away just as fast.

[@michaelhutin5451]

Everything you make is fantastic, your more like an engineer than a carpenter.

[@milesmartin9325]

Yep he sure is. Very unique creative mind. Good stuff!!

[@Drowsyrhino1979]

This is so bonkers and borderline ridiculous... I love it. This is why you've got one of my favorite channels. So clever.

[@Druforithe]

The out-feed support from the top is brilliant.

[@Ace-nq4cp]

yeah, and I love how he lined up the outfeed support-counter top so that the clips lined up in both modes. those little things are so satisfying in their simplicity.

[@expatmoose]

A genius way to clean your table saw after use, tip it up in The cupboard and let it all drop on the floor,,,,, fantastic idea😉🤣🤣🤣

[@traytondougherty1992]

You make me proud to be South African, and all I did was watch a video! Well done on this design, its brilliant.

[@MCsCreations]

Oh, only now I realized Jean is from South Africa! That explains why NASA never hired him. He lives too far!

[@byronglass882]

As always, your designs are the very best. Great to see you are back up to speed.

[@toekneepea]

I love watching clever people doing clever things. Keep 'em coming!

[@alonzohollingsworth7712]

Can't say anything that hasn't already been said about this awesome build. You have been blessed with a very creative skill that is displayed in each of your builds. Your designs and the functionality of them has me like "Where the heck does he come up with these ideas? 😲😲😲" I'm so glad you share your skills and creative thinking in action. Thank you.

[@GratefulThird]

I would love to see a video on the more compact version, please!

[@scottrelstyle3647]

I have never bought the plans to something so Quickly.... I work on the back Patio (not even a garage so this is 100% what i need... thanks' for doing the hard work in the design...

[@penelopem629]

Love the concept and would like to see the compacted version please

[@pipersmall]

This has to be the most ingenious storage idea I’ve seen. It’s awesome.

[@bobincorp]

Needs like a wood badge of a saw blade on the door to show what's in it. Awesome cabinet.

[@MCsCreations]

That's just brilliant, Jean! Fantastic work! 😃 Now if NASA doesn't hire you, well... Worse for them! Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

[@KyleAckerProductions]

I have been debating not having a table saw and using a track saw instead because I will be using a one car garage space for for my workshop, and was frankly just not happy with having to do that. THIS IS GENIUS!!! Well Done!

[@Ceen328]

Well done. Great idea. The only thing I would change, would be to mount retractable casters on the sides. Just bring the stand into position, open the doors and fold the casters up, so the stand sits flush on the ground. Less hardware and more stability. Thinking about it, I might change my plan for a work bench, that should include my table saw into it and make a shorter bench + this stand on the same height, so I get an even longer in / out feed.

[@rogerazevedo4094]

Brilliant idea. Love it. I would put those support mechanisms on the inside of the door. My OCD I suppose. Keep up the great work.

[@MrPatdeeee]

As again, a Genius of geniuses' to the "nth" degree; (from birth) a talented; this man makes a Cabinet of cabinets, Galore. Where few, could ever DIY it, ever! Thanks to you kind Sir. For we do❤you!

[@paulrankin165]

You did a nice job of design and function.

[@triplex86]

I've seen lots of flip top trolley builds with two alternative tools but I'Ve never seen anything like this before. Very cleverly designed and very functional.Thanks for posting.

[@OneWildTurkey]

I don't have a really nice compact table say, but I've been working with a worksite table saw. I think I've finally found a benefit - I get the same functionality of the space saving without having to make a new cabinet. :) If only the accuracy were as close.

[@SawDustMakerRJM]

Clever compact design. Really love the work you do.

[@erics2670]

That is an awesome deal, I'm going to make it for one of my table saws but also going to do it for my smaller Miter saw and thinking it would be nice for a small table top drill I have. If I make them all the same height I could make a way to connect them as a long but narrow working area or connect in another way to make them more into a wider rectangle. Using CNC handles on the doors instead of the stick outs might make this happen. Biggest challenge will be how to make them hook with those outside hook clamps.

[@randycosgrove3608]

This build is well designed, will do exactly what you said it would and the video was interesting to watch. Having said that I'm not at all certain that the build would be practical. For small shops using a portable saw such as yours there are already folding carts specifically made to give the saw a small footprint for storage and would be easier and faster to set up for use. Still an interesting project and video. I am subscribed and I do watch your content.

[@miyahollands6136]

a nice idea - How about adding some dog holes to the top surface, to increase its functionality even further

[@caafeministriesinc3033]

Brilliant design!

[@crossgrainwoodproductsltd9230]

Once again you have outdone yourself. What a brilliant design. I may have to get the planes for this for my Dewalt DW745. I also have an 8ft crosscut jig that gets more use than the tablesaw, so this is an excellent solution for me. It's not too tall and can store underneath my radial arm saw. Thanks for sharing!!

[@TheWeekendWoodshop]

This is amazing. Small shops rejoice at the opportunities this cart can open up for our shops! Well done!!

[@neilarmour4497]

I love how much thought and effort you put into making something you will hardly ever use!

[@graemebrumfitt6668]

Rite Junkies Dude, Neat idea and very well executed! TFS, GB :)

[@shieldofthebear1784]

Love your design.

[@TheBillPayingHobbyists]

Genius. Love it. Thanks for sharing.

[@steven_vogt]

Very ingenious! 👏👏👏

[@gazgadgets]

Nice design. Thanks for sharing.

[@robertkerby2581]

I am absolutely impressed with your level of design, build, and Craftsmanship! Please keep doing what you do as I am inspired as a Woodworker! Well done!

[@eddybailie7331]

Your brain works on a completely different level than most.amazing Joe.

[@dzee9481]

BRILLIANT! Love to see the other version you suggested. Hopefully you have plans for that one as well.

[@woollywoolwoolz]

Nice, well thought out design!

[@EitriBrokkr]

The only things I'd change would be flush or near flush door handles, and move the door support, kick down brackets to the inside. You'd pick up another 4 inches - 120mm of space

[@kimhavey7850]

I definitely want to see the smaller version. I love the idea. My shop is a little smaller than one garage space. I need all the help i can get! 😂😂

[@stephengreen107]

Love the design. I copied one of your designs for my Mitter Saw and It works great. Good job mate.

[@ericrickert3045]

i am so jealous to get these skills to make this!!!

[@mikegleaden5096]

Would love to see the simpler ready-use version. I have a similar Makita saw on a Makita wind-up trolley but your system is much more elegant and makes better use of space.

[@WoodshopJunkies]

I'll fit it in soon.

[@tommyvukovic8940]

Nicely done sir! Very cool idea, thank you for sharing.

[@johnpenman1548]

Great video and an extremely practical design! It would be great if you could make a video on a 'bare bones version' of the design. Cheers!

[@2200chuck]

I suggest a change in this design to incorporate the lowering wheels that you have on the drill press. In fact, for your shop to be modular the way you envision it, every major piece should have its own box, with drop wheels, and the alignment and latching method you demonstrated for the drill press. I received the plans for this station. Thank you, I intend to build this, modified for my machine, and I'm going to incorporate the suggestion I offered above. I too have a 1-car garage, and I need my "workshop", when put away, to occupy only 1 wall. I am "required"" (smile) to share the garage with my wife's car. Your design approach will serve me well. I'll be getting more plans from you, and adapting them to the machines that I have.

[@themplar]

For most the build i was thinking.. this is pointless and stupid... Then i saw it completed and working. Damn thats a smart idea! Nice build.

[@ADBBuild]

The design reminds me of old sewing machine cabinets that had fold out work surfaces and the sewing machine that rotated down out of the way.

[@dwmerch]

Love this! You are freakin creative. Yes, i would like to see the alternative version

[@Dingbat217]

Great idea, thanks for sharing the video. 👍

[@VoodooMike]

Like so many of your projects, that's ingenious.

[@FJSandovalC]

Excelent idea, congratulation

[@shawnhowell156]

Great build! Earned my subscription!

[@juditzentai8331]

Nice work! Also nice to see a well dressed woodworker!

[@blainespaulding3197]

This has got to be one of your most clever and functional designs yet. Very awesome!

[@michaelthys4000]

My hobbyist Ridge “cabinet” table saw is just a little larger than your job site saw and it’s just sitting on flimsy sheet metal lags. I could see a wider cabinet like this for a larger saw and fence. I even have my router table in the overhang of the fence and it could fold up to. I love this idea and after my move in June I might just have to do this for my larger saw. Thanks.

[@YuraKvadrat132]

👏👏👏Thanks for the idea!!!

[@gaz740]

Brilliant idea. It's one of those "why didn't I think of that" videos!

[@troycogan1030]

This is BLOODY Brilliant!!! you have hit the nail on the head with your design for a small work shop with little bench space and saw storage. WELL DONE to you and hope your health is improving. L❤ve the channel keep it up. From Australia 🇦🇺

[@66meikou]

Well thought out solution mate. Do me a favour, don't get rid of that Wadkin!

[@WoodshopJunkies]

I don't plan to.

[@aaronblackford981]

Lovely design. That’s for giving me extra ideas not in the video for a assembly table. I like small stuff. So awesome

[@houstonsam6163]

Genius.

[@stephanberger3476]

I'd call it overengineering, for sure! 😅 But the four latches on the top are thought out in a genius way.

[@robkirkham8873]

Good to see you back at it man

[@richs5422]

Nicely done!

[@alexs3119]

Interesting little project. You obviously know how to use your head in a small woodworking shop. Good on you mate.

[@derschlotter5605]

Great idea. 😂👍

[@robertosabatino7213]

Bravo 👏👏👏 Una idea fantastica e una ottima realizzazione 👍

[@nathanpowell1500]

Nice work! Hope you're feeling better!

[@WoodshopJunkies]

I am, thanks!

[@hjalteso]

I would like to see the other design 😊

[@douglasadrian138]

Just amazing. So clever, handy, functional. Another successful system created! Great job.

[@user-qg6fy4yp8t]

Thanks!! Intelligent solution!

[@Zjaan321]

A table saw cabinet that can store latches. 😛😛😛

[@shawnr771]

Very cool. Nice work.

[@keithkohler3332]

Brilliant design, always impressed by your engineering skills!

[@talkingbeers]

Marvellous

[@521farmer]

Wow crazy great design 👌 👏 hands up see ya work for the rest of us can relax and be proud of what ya do to make woodshed better thks from Canada 🇨🇦 SK later 😊

[@marcush1968]

Cool build

[@adu1978]

Awesome job mate

[@bloodtastesirony]

the design is great, but you've installed the gas spring upside down. they last much longer if the thicker part is up (it seems wrong, which is why they're often installed upside down, but check the check the mfgr's datasheet or take a close look at car trunk gas springs).

[@barrymelody4477]

Great design and project. I am in a similar situation where i share my garage with the daughters Motorbike and along with fridge, freezer, washing machine and tumble dryer I am limited on space. I have my table saw dissembled in my shed and was looking at designs to mount it on wheels to free up some space. But this design has just made my day, I have utilised some of your other designs with modifications to meet my weekend working area. One of the reasons i like your channel so much, keep them coming.👍

[@TheMaxwellee]

Thank you.

[@meleader]

Nice build!

[@mathewmolk2089]

Great Idea. With a lock hasp on the front door it would make a perfect jobsite saw. - (Keep the plumbers and tin knockers from screwing up the saw blade when we are not there. Also- Put the stomp supports on the INSIDE of the doors for a cleaner look. - Great engineering in any case.

[@stmpdog1906]

Thank you so much! You just gave me a great idea for my setup. Definitely will be subscribing

[@nastyevilbunny]

Love the modular stuff that you can put away compact, or lock together for a larger work surface.

[@Elle-Tuscanier]

Wow! That must have taken some thinking thru? Such a big saw to hide away... The Makita is a beast and has some weight, will follow for the evolution of this. 👍

[@BrouBrouZebra]

Very clever! Also, there's as to be a way to turn the top into a crosscut sled.

[@worstuserever]

Yes! Crosscut sled was exactly what I thought looking at that top!

[@brianmackinnon9765]

😅

[@Borescoped]

I’m glad to see that you seem to be doing better!

[@adriaanstruwig8581]

Brilliant 😮

[@troyboy4345]

A very nifty design, great to watch, Hope you are recovering well my dude, looking forward to more great projects !

[@OffTheBeatenPathAus]

Great unit. About to purchase my fist table saw and this is the solution to the problem I was having of how to store it given I won't be using it all the time. The plans are great too BTW, I reckon even I can manage to follow them :-)

[@marcoscardoso4642]

Muito bom seu trabalho parabéns mesmo

[@bartgiles1068]

Love it genius

[@markpullen61]

Would love to see the smaller version. I only have a 11' x 8' shed as a workshop and my table saw takes up so much room, I'd love to make it mobile

[@Arno4242]

Brilliant!😎

[@johanpretorius1428]

This is a very good idea! I have to do something for my Bosch contractor table saw which is a mission to store and set up when I need to use it since I have to share my double garage with two cars. Using the door stops for stability is great for an uneven floor!

[@kriss2787]

Bravo

[@lennyf1957]

3:17 that doesn't actually look like "laminated" pine. I believe it's narrower strips edge, glued to make wider panels.

[@thejason189]

You could build in some of those fancy diy retractable castors. I've seen some that can be pretty hidden. That way, it always sits fully on the floor. I suppose that's only a good thing if you have flat floors! I also like that folding it up basically doubles as cleaning it since all the sawdust falls out the bottom.
