Step 8Things I made with the saw
The main reason I made the saw was to cut up the old lumber I had in my garage. There's old 2x4 and other stuff from the last 7 years of home improvements. I was able to re-claim some of the lumber but a lot of it is probably only good for throwing away or making charcoal. I also made a shop cart for my tool box and misc tools. It was inspired (but doesn't at all resemble) by an instructable about building a shop table.

That way, all the edges are the same, the surface is more likely to be all flat(or at least flat as in 1 solid piece).
Or, you could do like I did yrs ago & cut tongue & grooves into some 2x6's, glue & clamp them all together, then cut to size & sand them smooth.
This is what I did when I made a dining room table. turned out sharp too. :-)
I was thinking, that one thing you could do to keep the saw running when in use, is to by pass the switch on the saw & wire in a switch within arms reach by your waist on the side of the table. it may sound complicated, but it's really not. It's actually quite easy.
Just my 2 cents worth...not telling you what to do...
but i am not clear about the mounting of the saw on to the table
i have only a 4" circular saw
What I wanted to say was that if you attach the saw to the underside of the insert and then "lower" the saw while it's on and by that making a "zero-clearance insert" instead of drilling holes. Would that be a feasible idea?
