News: Had a couple issues with the forum today. 1/19/2017. I believe I have them corrected now. Let me know if you have any trouble. Thanks.

How tall is your set-up, what do you sit on? It looks like you could have some leg room under the saw, I don't have that with my set up.I just have a cheap "task" chair (office chair) or use a folding chair. Plenty of leg room underneath. It is overall about 4ft tall...have to take a current pic so you can see the modifications. The fan is great for pulling the fine dust away from you.
I really like the fan right there, very helpful.

These were made for the past Mother's Day...cut from 1/4" Yellowheart. Yes, was kind of hairy in the middle. Didn't make the frames, purchased those from Hobby Lobby along with the backing.

Made these for Father's Day last year...wood on the clock is Curly Claro Walnut with a Curly Maple base. Both have Westminster Chimes movements in them. Pics are without the hands on as I was shipping them off after these pics.

I agree...only place I get my inserts from is Sloans, and yes, I think they have the best quality as well. They also have the different sizes of photo inserts as well.

Kepy...Since the original design, I have also added lights to the insides, but get most light from the center light.
Rog...Yes, that is the only drawback to the design. If they are too long to fit, have to cut on something else first.

Just an idea I had when I originally started sawing probably 10 years ago.
Sides are FRP (fiberglass reinforced plywood), which is not fun to cut!
Have modified it some by adding a fan that has a built in section for a 20x20x1 filter incorporated into it. They don't make that model any more, so if it breaks, going to have to go back to the original with a box fan and filter, but that worked pretty well too. The light above makes a lot of difference and have since added an aquarium pump with hose attached to the air blower since it has quit working. Saw is bolted to the table with a piece of truck mud flap as a vibration barrier. Still get some vibration nonetheless.
Attached a couple pictures as well
almost forgot, have mounted a power strip on the left inside of the cabinet and then run the cord out a hole in the side.
