i used a brick wall and my foot until I got a cheap table saw, now I use the table saw on the back grass kneeling on the grass as I have no stand for the table saw , and get most of the building plans and cutting list from the late Dave chusmans web site he has a wealth of info on there .

I just place the sloping stand on top of a National stand, this give you a little more height and the advantage of an alighting board, i screw a couple of pieces of wood onto the inside of the sloping stand which hang down to the other stand, which helps to stop them moving apart during inspections or moving etc.

That would be a good idea, Redwood. Could get the legs cut at shop and muddle through the rest.

Most wood suppliers/builders merchants have a cutting service, even B&Q's have one

Thanks, Yeogi. If I had somewhere to STORE the table saw, I might go down that route.

Maybe I'll check the length of the normal stand legs and just screw and glue some of those adding cross braces as I go.

The fold up ones fit nicely in the shed.

All my sheds are full of other stuff already, Domino. Just no storage.
