   Folding Workstation for Crosscuts and Dadoes
 

Finally, all edges have been chamfered except for the upper front edge of the rear fence, which provides accuracy when placing boards to be milled. I made my thumbscrews out of 1/4" stove bolts (heads off) and wing-nuts side hammered tight at one end.

For the icing on the cake, I have a dedicated circular saw close to the workstation, always set in depth and ready to make a crosscut.

Below is a side-view sketch.

Serge Duclos

Serge Duclos started woodworking 40 years ago after purchasing a house. He soon found it was a way to relax from the stress related to his job as a human resources professional. Since retiring in 2004, Serge continues to enjoy his pastime and to update his bilingual woodworking blog http://atelierdubricoleur.wordpress.com with his projects, as well as his tips and techniques.
