The Basement #41: Moddin' the Table Saw.....
https://s3.amazonaws.com/lumberjocks.com/n4uzqv9.jpg
This is another project that I’ve been kicking around for awhile now. Kind of time consuming but think it will be a good one for the long run:
First off, this is an older Craftsman “113” contractor saw. I would much rather have a shiny new cabinet saw, but lack of power and funds are preventing that! Some of the mods were done earlier and here was the saw prior to this last round of changes. I’ve never cared for those sheet metal bases on those saws. Really hard to add storage, etc. Also, the router table on the left which is solid Maple, has too much movement in it and had to go:
Most of the materials used are re-purposed, such as the 80/20 style aluminum channel (obtained used for free) along with all the gray and black plastic panels. The drawer slides were a garage sale find. Nearly all the hardwood used is old Maple gym floor I got cheap.
I did have to buy the casters, dust ports and 2 switches (they are about $10 on Amazon) made by Woodstock.
The frame design was largely dictated by the used material I had on hand, and tried to design with a minimum amount of cutting aluminum. It’s noisy and messy..
FRAME:
The casters are the industrial ones that have the rubber pads that can be used to level the rig:
STORAGE:
There are 8 drawers and one open compartment. 4 of the drawers have Kaizen foam in them:
One deep drawer in the middle holds the saw blades (there is a blog on that HERE) and a tenon jig:
Three wide drawers hold 2 miter gauges, 2 crosscut sleds and a miter sled:
THE SAW:
I covered the front of the saw with some rubber sheet material I had laying around. Not that pretty, but it covers up some of those gaping holes. I removed the factory tilt indicator thing because it’s virtually useless and requires a much bigger opening to function. The tilt scale is there mostly as a novelty. I also printed out the serial and model number of the saw (just in case) because the original plate is covered up now:
In the back of the saw, I built 2 removable panels to enclose the back and use rare earth magnets to keep them on the saw. Unfortunately, they have to be removed to tilt the blade. I may build a 45 degree tilt version some day, we’ll see:
I built an extra beam on the out-feed side of the saw to place 2 movable out-feed boards on. The challenges in designing out-feed for this rig is the Incra TS-LS fence rides on top of the back rail so you can’t have a permanent structure on top of the rail. The other issue is the tilting motor in the back, when fully tilted comes very close to the plane of the saw table. So the rail I added is just behind the motor allowing it to tilt.
The sliding out-feed boards have plastic runners that keep them in place, but can be moved or removed quickly:
Also, my downdraft table (which I had to install a lift kit on for this build!) falls just below the out-feed boards:
ROUTER TABLES:
There is a router box on both sides of the saw. You can access the routers under the table with removable panels that are held in place with rare earth magnets. Also, both boxes are hard wired with a duplex outlet inside each box:
This is the right box (which is also the access to tilt the saw):
And the left box which has access from the end of the frame:
The table on this box is mounted directly to the aluminum frame and not the saw. All I can say is it is REALLY sturdy…
DUST COLLECTION:
There are three 4” dust ports on the back on the cabinet and I have to change the quick connect hose for each:
The dust box for the saw has an angled bottom and works good. Haven’t tested the router boxes yet, but I’m guessing they will be marginal, but better than no dust collection:
The blast gate is mounted near the ceiling and at the back of the saw, which is un-reachable from the front of the saw. I attached a dowel to the blast gate so you can open and close the gate from the front. Also marked a line on the dowel so you can tell if the gate is open from across the shop, because the gate itself is hidden behind the ceiling mounted air cleaner:
OTHER STUFF:
The saw is wired separately from the 2 router tables and these 2 cords are zip-tied above the right side of the saw. This makes it really convenient to unplug things for safety reasons and also means you can’t have the both the saw and router tables plugged in at the same time….also for safety reasons. I’ve been known to hit the wrong switch before. Also, there is a little flashlight mounted there which makes reading the Incra scale much easier:
I still intend to build several zero clearance inserts for the saw and will install splitters in them. I purchased the Leecraft (CR-1) to use as pattern. This is a really nice insert and completely adjustable for height and fit:
Lastly, for those of you that have the Incra fence, you know that it is a space hog when the fence is opened wide. I found a spot is the shop where the fence can be open and doesn’t affect any other stuff, basically it opens into an un-usable space between the dust collector and the separator:
Like everything else in the shop, I’m sure there are more changes coming…….
Thanks for lookin’

Bento Box Lunches and a NatureBox Give Away
http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd246/jkomenda/jkomenda004/th_NatureBox9.jpg
I’ve been trying hard this year to refocus our family on health and wellness. One thing we recently did that I’m so excited about is jumping on the bento box bandwagon. My kids have never been happier about making and eating their lunches!
We bought these laptop lunchbox cases on Amazon, along with a few other little things to help make the lunches more fun and easier to pack, like this set of reusable cupcake liners and these adorable mini-forks (Evie’s obsessed with the panda one). I also have these tiny shape cutters that are fun for special days or when the girls want to spend extra time making their lunch.
I love how easy it is to add variety to a lunch with these little boxes. The girls love to add a small handful of this and that, and I love that they’re now getting a better mix of fruits, veggies, grains and proteins. And they usually eat all of the small portions, which is more than I can say for our old lunch-packing methods!
We’ve had our NatureBox subscription for a few months now and I love using these delicious snacks in our bento box lunches.
It’s like Christmas when the NatureBox package comes each month. There’s not been one snack yet that my kids won’t devour! The carrot strawberry chews, the fancy dried figs and the PB&J granola go FAST at our house!
I am trying to eat less gluten, so I love that you can select snack choices based on dietary needs on the NatureBox site. They have a really great selection of healthy (and seriously delicious) choices. No artificial colors, flavors or sweeteners ever with these snacks. Evie loves the figs and the blueberry almonds in her lunch as much as I do. (PS how adorable is the little sauce tub? We usually end up using it for hummus or a nut butter).
My Claire is ALL about the dried pineapple and apples and loves all the sunflower seed and roasted chickpea options.
NatureBox is a beloved sponsor and wants to share the love with you LGN readers. They are offering two six-month long subscriptions today! To enter, please browse the snack options page HERE and leave a comment on this post with the snacks that sound the very best to you! US readers only this time. Contest ends May 7 at midnight. Good luck!
Psst… Get 50% off your first month of NatureBox with the code LGN50 (so, only $9.95)! There are a couple of subscription sizes to choose from, and shipping is always free!

Bento Box Lunches and a NatureBox Give Away
Eileen Fisher: These Clothes Start with a Seed
http://www.remodelista.com/files/styles/733_0s/public/fields/eileen-fisher-logo_0.jpg
Eileen Fisher began her company 30 years ago with a focus on natural fibers—but ultimately realized that natural is not enough. Natural fibers can still come with herbicides and pesticides that have dire environmental consequences. That’s why Eileen Fisher introduced organic cotton into its collection 10 years ago.
This year, the company took a hard look at its mission and progress, and decided to do more. Before the cotton and linen were harvested, the fabric woven, or a single stitch of Eileen Fisher’s Eco Collection sewn, a commitment was made: to clean air, clean water, and a healthy environment for workers and wildlife.
Above: “Becoming more mindful about clothing means looking at every fiber and every seed and every dye and seeing how to make it better,” says Eileen. To start, the company doubled the amount of organic fibers used in its spring collection. This pewter-and-white striped Funnel Neck Top is a blend of organic linen and cotton; $158.
Above L: The Racer-Back Knee-Length Dress, shown here in midnight, is made of organic cotton and hemp; $178. Above R: A Knee-Length A-Line Skirt made of hemp and organic cotton chambray; $158.
Eileen Fisher has committed to increasing its use of organic fibers by 10 percent every year. That may sound easy, but global organic fiber production is still small: only 1.1 percent of all the world’s cotton is grown organically.
Above: This Ballet Neck Sleeveless Top is made of organic linen jersey and available in flamingo (shown) and white; $168.
Eileen Fisher returns to its favorite fabrics year after year because they have a drape and feel the company loves. So switching to new fibers—organic ones from new sources—presents a challenge. “With yarns that are so important to our collection, it’s daunting to change up the content,” says sweater designer Julie Rubiner.
Above: Made of fine-gauge organic linen, this striped Jewel Neck Top has a nautical feel. In midnight and white; $158.
It turns out that organic fine-gauge linen and organic linen-cotton slub, which the company introduced this year, are even more beautiful and reliable than the conventionally grown ones. “Both yarns feel nicer, which doesn’t surprise me,” says Rubiner. “I’ve found that things grown organically have a better quality.”
Above: Organic fibers and processes come at a premium, but it’s an investment the company believes in—and hopes its customers will, too. This chambray railroad-stripe Scoop-Neck Dress is made of a blend of hemp and organic cotton. It’s also available in black denim; $218. Go to Eileen Fisher’s Eco Collection to see more.
