Roll-around work bench extention. I am making a king size headboard and when it came time to glue up the end stiles it was too long for my workbench. I was trying all kinds of supports when I noticed my SS sitting with no tools on it. Since my bench is higher than the powerhead I rolled it over and locked it in position by raising the casters. I raised the table until it was level and then installed an aux. table on the end. I raised the aux. table to level and then glued up the headboard.
Wow. I still like this thing more the more I use it. Not many tools you can say that about!!
Unexpected use for my SS!!

For a long time I had a piece of plywood that I kept in the shop just to be used as a bench top on my Mark V. Just be careful you don't spill something like paint or cleaning solvents on your bench when using that way. It makes for a panic scramble!:eek::(:mad:
