A small addition to my workbench

If you have a small workspace like me, you'll love this fold out shelf for your portable table saw.  When not in use, it folds down neatly tucked away, taking up less than 2 inches.  When needed, I simply pop it open (finger tip release), and place my table saw on the 3/4" plywood shelf.  My workbench now can be used as an outfeed table.  

I purchased a pair of 16" 4-Position folding brackets from Lee Valley Tools.  These are incredibly strong brackets, with a center load capacity of 200 kg/440 lb per pair.  For added support and stability, I added at 2x3 drop-down leg to the bottom of the shelf.
