Back to the shop. This month's contest is Creative Machine Bases. What unique system have your created to support a power tool or large human-powered woodworking device (e.g., treadle lathe stand). The head judge will take a liberal view of what constitute a base, OBTW, as long as you can demonstrate how it supports a tool in use.

This contest will end September 23. Voting will run the following week through September 30.

Rules:
-Must be created/completed within the last 120 months - here's a reason to gift/sell the old and build the new. And, I know these don't get built real often
-One submission per creator/artist per category (month)
-Each creator can win a contest no more than once every six months.
-Members vote for winners so your submittal 'marketing' post should reflect quality. Limited to 3 photos and 500 words. One post per submittal.
- Any Q&A regarding a submittal should be handled by separate post, or DM,PM. Expect questions to be deleted. Separate posts do not clutter the contest thread, avoids vote biasing, and everyone can share How's It Made (Resources forum content).
-In case of a tie, a judge panel will make the selection. Judges' decision is final. Judges will remain anonymous.
-Each monthly contest will have two winners, novice and experienced/journeyman/veteran/pro. Novice is defined as <3 years woodworking, cumulative. "Experienced" is all others. Submitters must indicate if they are novice; honor system applies. If you don't declare, you're an experienced woodworker.

I'll play...

The basic design of my router table is pretty standard, but my switch and electrical setup is not like any others that I've seen.

my tilting scroll saw base,, a reclaimed lab cabinet, added a base plate with casters, built the top ala shays lounge using a section of salvaged counter top,, the "workings" are from salvaged maple.. allows you to tilt the saw to give a better view angle of the work,, much easier on your neck!!!.. I think the only purchased items were the hinge and casters so to cost was under 20$
