My hinged frame

While I am still waiting for the Italian custom to awake … just wanted to share my 1st thinking for my frame.

the workshop is 4.80 x 2 m (15"3/4 x 6.5"), has a window and a door opposite side. so my main goals are:

  • fit a Maslow
  • be able to open the window
  • have some storage for all accessories and more (Shop vac, other power tools)
  • also need a workshop table.

also to make something sturdy and foldable (to pass the door), windows is higher than normal, but ceiling is 2.45 m.

So I came with this first idea :

1

it’s a multifunctions foldable waste board. the backside become the top of the table.
the material “frame” corners show the working area. the bottom horizontal bar would be able to raise for smaller material to be near the center. just few holes in line and pegs. (not in the draw).

one of the 2 cabinet would host the shop vac, and maybe the cabinet door would host a gliding circular saw. the vac pipe alternatively plug into router or saw.

Simon, thank you for sharing, and maybe you can tell us more about your frame with more usage experience.
(warping ? depth reliability ?) Sled position when not in use (window opening)?
