    Looks like one heck of a table you're making there! What are you gonna use to move it about?

    Well my dad always said that I was one of the few people he knew that could tear up an anvil, so I thought I would just try to start out ahead of the game. Also I'm tired of light tables that won't stay flat and square.

    You may want to have that level checked. In my personal experience, having something like your table that shows level is usually an indication of the level being bunged up. Anyway, great looking table. Now I have table AND tractor envy.

    it's a 14" chop saw
    I built that wooden table out of pressure treated 4x4 & 2x4. It's all put together with mortice & tenons. The only screws in it are in the top. I cut a piece of outdoor grade plywood in half, screwed half of it to the frame, then turned the table over and glued and screwed the other half on. Before I got the iron frame that the I-beam is on now, I had it clamped to that table so the top is pretty well messed up now but it is still very functional
    I'll try to get home in time to take some picks this evening.

    That is one serious table you have. I would like to see the shop that it is going into. Nice work.

    The top looks "level" but i hope the ground its sitting on is also level. I know some one that did that on there back deck , made the top all level and when it got moved to where he wanted it the table was not level anymore because the deck he made it on was not level. food for thought.
