Finished my work bench finally. Built it so my saw would sit level with the other pieces. And have a piece I can drop in there and take my saw out so it’s one surface too.
How are you uploading photos? I have a table I just finished but it keeps saying my file is too big
I have to click on “choose size” and then click medium or small and it usually goes. Still don’t know how to get them to upload straight though
For woodworking don't buy a slider, they are a lot harder to get fine tuned for acurate cuts than a regular miter saw is. I'm using a 10" Dewalt and it'll cut 6" wide stuff no problem which is plenty wide for what I do since I only have a 6" jointer. Anything wider I just cut off with a hand saw.
What do you recommend on blades? My hand saw and miter could use some new ones soon I believe
On my phone I can't upload pictures I take as the file is too large, but if i take a screen shot of the picture, I dont have any issues.
It all depends on how much you want to spend. Budget priced those Diablo blades aren't too bad. If you want to drop some money then get yourself a Forrest or a Ridge Carbide one. Just make sure whatever you do (assuming you're not building a deck with it) to get a fine tooth blade for it.

I’ll second the diablo blades for a moderate priced good blade. They’ve done me well for as much as I do. Plus, they’re readily available at any Home Depot. I’ve got a 12” 80 tooth that I use for almost everything.

THAT is Impressive. Did you use 2x6s for the top? How’d you get them nice and together like that? I like trim piece surrounding that as well
Thanks! 2x6s on the top joined with glue and dowels.
Used this cheap jig and it worked pretty good. I would definitely recommend practicing on some scrap wood as I learned a lot by doing that and my first couple practice rounds were not great.

Also, I attached the legs to the tabletop using threaded inserts and bolts so that way they can be easily detached. It worked super slick and will make the table easier to move in the future since it can be disassembled.
You have me very intrigued. I think I’ll be buying one of those with my rebate money.
Stronger than a kreg jig joint and you don't see anything plus I wanted to learn a new technique so I figured for how much it cost that it was worth a shot!
I love the aged look of the case contrasted with the white. How did you achieve that?
