The Paulk Work Bench and Cross Cut Jig

I felt I needed to include this as it is the center of my shop and an example of taking something and adjusting it to your personal needs. I needed something for breaking down sheet goods that could itself be broken down for storage. Panel saws are nice but that's all they are, panel saws. The Paulk Work bench has been used for breaking down sheet goods, repeated cross cuts and and an assembly table. I'm working on building support benches as the two halves will also serve as my all purpose work bench. This really suits my needs. I did not build in the saw support or router table as they were not needed by me. I also built mine out of 3/4 plywood instead of 1/2, like Ron did. It makes for a heavier unit but I'm not going to be moving it around like Ron does with his. I also built the cross cut jig and have found it to be quite useful. It is designed to work with the Festool track saw system but I'm sure it could be modified to work with a circular saw and one of the jigs you see all over the net that allows a circular saw to act as a track saw.

Here is a link to Ron's YouTube video on the bench. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sJoGTf6KL8s  He has multiple videos covering the construction of the bench. There's even a Facebook page for the bench - https://www.facebook.com/paulkworkbench

No - I do not get a kick back from this, I just think credit should be given where credit is do.

You can see here how it breaks down into the 2 halves and the supports

Here it is put together

You can see here where wood is cut out to reduce weight  but still maintain structural integrity.

Here is the simple way it is held together but a bolt, 2 washers and a wing nut. Simple, cheap and effective.
