Thread: Table saw accessory organizer

Have you got an adjacent wall or cupboard that you could mount a pivoting shelve to?

I saw a dude who made himself a pullout cupboard for next to the TS, the same as you would have in a spice cupboard in a pantry.

In it he had everything.

Let me see if I can find it...

edit 1: this is the kind of idea.

This usually mean either the mitre gauge or the fence would be randomly sitting on top something, quite often precariously. I am thinking about building a cart but would be keen how other woodworkers organize themselves. I don't have a lot of room around the table saw.
comments and suggestions welcome.

Are you suggesting that we should be better organised! That we need more workspace?!!

What do you think tablesaw and bench tops were designed for?!!

For stuff, of course .... place it anywhere else and you will upset the balance in the universe!!

Take a look at what Timothy Wilmots designed and built (this is the "features" video - he has 2 other videos on his channel showing the build, and has plans available): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vrZilXo3xBk

I like this so much I am planning on building one - it's the sort of thing that will be so handy in the workshop for a myriad of things!

Love the cart.

The dude must be a multimillionaire...

No idea, but I love his workshop (heance how I came across the cart video). His channel actually shows how most of it was built, it's actually a building within a big barn, and he put his apartment upstairs. Plenty of room and much Felder kit going on... I need a new career

We are both the same age Time for a Mid Life Crisis and advise the wifey-poo that we'll be living above a cow shed for a while.....

His workshop is very nice. I do like the rolling cart and the flat wooden floor. Ive seen a few of these and think it would be a good idea... but to move all that stuff! (hence the new Cow Shed)

There is never enough table n the exit side of a table saw. A handy cabinet can be made with a laminated top to increase the area with slide out drawers under for all the saw related bits and pieces. This can be matched with a similar sized, open top waste bin so nothing ends up on the floor.

My thought as well.

I am so envious of his space. And those machines ....!

I find it difficult to imagine that a professional at his age uses such expensive new equipment. It must have cost a fortune to set up! He uses it very well indeed. I know that all the trial-and-error shots have been edited out, but still get the impression that he knows what he is doing. Not one hand tool anywhere! Yikes.

The cart is great. I love it. However it would not work in my small workshop (half a double garage). Where would I store it?

I have a couple of movable roll-around chests. One is a large tool chest (about 1.25m x 0.75m), which is on wheels. I can stack parts on there, or rest a few tools.

I found a picture from last year, when I was building door frames for a kitchen. The photo was taken as it amazed me how many power tools were used ...



The cart tucks away under the bench when not in use. The problem lies when I need something inside it and it is covered in parts!

I should clarify something, as it seems to have generated some interest. Off the bat, no affiliation to Timothy Wilmots, other than a subscriber of his channel (I like the workshop and am pinching small ideas from him here and there as I begin to set mine up).

He runs a business making workbenches, hence why he's lashed out on the kit he has (and I have in my mind this workshop is his second, in that he had a smaller one previously and built this as his business grew). Info on his business here in case folks are interested: https://benchworks.be/en/

Thanks MM. He makes very specialised benches for goldsmiths. They are very well done.

It seems the reason he has so much space is that it it his family farm.

Envious too in the Hunter Valley - yet, also thankful, moving here allows me to set up a workshop, something I wasn't able to do for the last 20 years - so whilst I'd love a shop like Timothy's, I'll be happy with whatever I can get together

Also love some of the idea here for an organiser for the table saw - some very good concepts here!
