Storing support legs and connector tubes

[dusty]

It looks real nice, your shop that is; and the rods for the tables is a slick idea. You are also right about the wire shelves; shelves would be just full of saw dust (check mine).

It looks as though you are in a garage. Is that correct? What makes me say that is the bright light (good illumination) at one end and not really enough to work in at the other.

I really notice light differences when I am working; ever since I had cataracts removed. My eyes are very light sensative and I can no longer see in poor light (like down under my work bench). Got three flashlights in the shop now. Often can not find any one of them.

I really need to put up some good overhead lights now that I am aging past prime.

Yeah, it's a garage. I'm still trying to figure out how to get lights to shine through a garage door when it is in the up position.

Use mirrors.

Tim,

I have never hung the main table. No you would not have to disassemble it. Simply hang the top side toward the wall. Simple and easy, one just needs to remember not to impale themself on the posts:D Jim

Guess what, Jim! You dokn't even have to do that: I just discovered that you simply pivot the main table legs over all the way, like it wood be, as set up for the drill press, and it will fit on the rack flat to the wall. Must have been having some kind of mental block before!:rolleyes: The extension tables are another story though.

I'm curious Tim. How do you store your:

Extension Tables
Floating Tables
Main Table

When not in use on the Shopsmith?

Pictures would be great.

Mine hang on the wall about waste high. You can see them (extension tables excepted) in many of the photos I have posted.

The extension tables are placed table face down on the work bench against the back wall.

Well, dusty, here are some pictures: [ATTACH]1944[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]1945[/ATTACH]
As you can see, my main table and extension table fit on these shelves, along with a selection of other unorganized things.

And here are some more of my floating table storage: These are pictures of the cabinet with the door down. The floating tables, tubes and support legs are in the center drawer.

In post 17 of this thread, I described to dusty this cabinet. Here are some more pictures:
This one shows the door in the up position. You can see the legs laying flat on the door, and the "upgrades" that I am working on (bench vises and router table)
[ATTACH]1954[/ATTACH]
This one shows the clamps on the left side, stored by clamping to a piece of 2"X4" at the top. There is similar clamp storage on the other side, but for longer bar clamps.
[ATTACH]1955[/ATTACH]
This one shows the inside of the left inner door, which is used for my router bit storage.
[ATTACH]1956[/ATTACH]
This one is of the right inner door, partially open. There are bar magnets on the outside of both inner doors to hold tools.

This is the final set of pictures for this work cabinet.

This one shows one of my routers in place.

What I had in mind, when I cut this hole for a router, was to be able to have a large router table surface for routing dados in cabinet walls. This picture shows my guide, clamped in place, which allows me to cut dados the full length of the cabinet walls, with 100% table support throughout the cut. I have used it for other purposes, but I like it mainly for what I designed it for.

This picture does knot show it very well, but there is a space under the drawers, to allow my quide to clamp to the edge of the table.

Nice work, Tim! Good looking very functional cabinets!
