Is there a Better way to set your NEW scroll saw up????

[Danny]

I have been into Scrolling for around 5 years and have had three different brands of Saws.  All Cheapies and bit the dust within a couple years.  All have came with their STANDS and thats how I used my scroll saw.  Now I have been given (to me) the Cadilac of all Scroll saws.  A 2001 Hedgner-Multimax 18 inch with ALL the attachments.  I just DO NOT want to use it on a STAND.
Have had thoughts about a TABLE or same nature.  Can any of our Family OFFER me any advice.  Thank Ya's in Advance....  Danny  :+}

I may take my 788 off the stand and make something like this after the holidays!

   Hey Dan. I have mine just sitting on a make-shift work bench. I also have a cheap bar stool that I welded a foot rest on, and mounted a foot on/off switch. But I think I'll build a stand to put it on. Dunk has his saw mounted on a stand that he had made. Kind of had something like that in mind. Dave

Thanks for all of your info.  I have boiled it down to a 3' by 4' table.  Think
2 drawers on one side.  Just high enough which is to the working area of the scroll saw so I can sit in a confortable computer chair with my legs under the table.  Started off with my first saw mounted to the work table and stood for over a year cutting my crafts.  Then went to a second saw with a stand and used a short bar stool type.  Bad on back.  Anyway this is just my idea at present, but I would LOVE any input for improvement or cons.  Tks  Danny:+}

i put industrial wheels under a chair because of bad legs & back. i can use all of my tools from this
chair. i cut the legs off my scrollsaws to match height of my chair. works real good. i also put
formica on old yellers top, no more waxing & if i sweat on it, just wipe off, no worry about rust. i
used industrial wheels because they have grease fittings & bearings in them. roll around on concrete
real easy

On November 18, 2010 I posted "My Scroll Saw Table" with photos.  If you'd like to see what I did just scroll back to the 18th and find "My Scroll Saw Table".  I had several nice compliments.

Hey Danny - Congratulations on the new saw!!!

[Danny]

Thank you my Good Friend.  Can't wait.  Going from a noicey saw to a quiet 0ne is going to be a huge difference.

Hey Bud....Yes I did view your pictures of your scroll saw stand.  Guess I want to get away from having something in front of my legs  Guess I will see when my Cadilac arrives.  Hehe....  Danny  :+}

Here's a couple of pictures of the stand I made for my Hegner.  It's on wheels so I can move it around.

Hey Al, That's a nice set up you have there! Tell us about the chute in front of the saw.

 ;DIm trying to figure a way to set mine up so i can use my lazy boy chair.....lol

[Intarsia92]

Dan, It's not really a chute on the front of the Stand, it has a bottom in it and the whole thing is removable. A key-hole on each side slips over a couple of screws so I can remove and dump it when necessary. Besides catching most of the sawdust that falls it a very handy place to toss pieces of scrap as I cut.  It saves a lot of mess on the floor that i don't have to clean up, not that there isn't a lot anyway, LOL

[Marcellarius]

Yes, that's a nice setup. looks great.
