Like many of you I have a standard size two cargarage that my wife also likes to use to park her car in. I had a Rigid table saw but also wanted a complete shop that could fit in my garage and still allow room for a car. my solution was a mobile table saw work station. I used the basic plan came from WWW.woodonline.com but I had to modify it to suit my needs. Since I wanted a heavy duty router and planer I elected to get a frame welded together with locking caster wheels from Woodcraft. I happen to have a very talented bother-in-law who welded mine but and local welder could do yours in an afternoon. I added a Bench Dog router table extension onto the left side of my table saw and on the right added a wood extention table for mounting my dovetail jig, Leigh FMT or Kreg pocket hole jig. The table saw sits on a cabinet with electrical and vacuum attachments inside. I added a vacuum switch with starts and stops the vacuum when any of the three tools are turned on or off.

I am happy to share any other photos or questions.
