It is hard to resist for sure. You might have noticed, I ordered some steel marbles (ball bearings) -- work real well in the machine. Thanks

Yes sir. I hav a lot of junk stored in the drawers of the file cabinet. I plan on making some dividers and etc. to keep stuff organized.

BTW I have a similar setup for my Ryobi bench top drill press.

I too was perplexed by not having a stand available for my new Pegas 21 Richard. My solution was to mount it to the top of an old metal file cabinet. It just fit on the top of the cabinet. I did make some simple modifications - added wheels to the rear of cabinet base so I can move the saw around easer. I reinforced the top of the cabinet with a piece of 1/2 inch MDF and added a concrete block to the bottom drawer to contract the weight of the saw's motor and keep the saw from too easily tipping backward.

Other additions were a Harbor Freight foot switch and a magnetic sewing machine light from Amazon.

This set up fits perfectly it the spot I needed in my shop. At this point I'm totally happy with my setup and don't plan to buy the OEM stand when/if it becomes available. (Pictures attached)

I thought it would be interesting to post a couple of pictures of my version of Steve's "Marble Machine." This plan was posted to the catalog and and as a YouTube  video series many years ago and it is still bringing joy joy to members of the community.

Many thanks Steve, for all your contributions to our hobby.
