Portable miter saw stand

Portable Miter Saw Stand So, our house is pretty small, with not much extra room at all. Every tool we use has to stowable. So, I set out to make a stand for the miter saw that folds up and is on casters for ease of moving. I made the basic box and wired it up specially with electricity. I can plug this into an outlet and it instantly gives me an extra four plugs to use, as well as feeding power to the saw and the shop vac via a switch. I can leave the shop vac on, then just hit the switch when ready to cut. Today, I added the wings. folded up, the entire thing takes up around 36", but I can expand it out and have a full 7' 8" of working area for the saw.

We made a couch for the deck this past weekend. Only took a few hours to get it made. Ana White 's site has some great plans. We found some great simple ideas from her site and customized it for what we wanted. Here's a Sketchup of the final product. Also, I believe we have some pics of the process and outcome that I will post and then edit this to point there.
