Put wings beneath your wings.

How do you keep all of those tablesaw accessories close at hand without being under foot? Take two pieces of 1" angle iron a couple of inches shorter than the width of your saw and bolt them to the front and rear of your contractor-style saw's stand, as shown. Now cut plywood shelves to fit between the stand and the ends of the angle iron, and bolt them on top of it. Add a strip of hardwood at the end of each shelf to keep things from falling off, and you gain valuable storage space.

I decided to raise my saw a couple of inches and add dust collection too. I made a box out of 2x4s (on the flat) and covered it with a 1/2" of CDX plywood. I mounted it beneath the steel box of the saw, and above the leg assembly. I then screwed a 1"x2" rails to the front and rear of my box. I cut a whole in the CDX and added a 4" dust collection fitting. Muah! Perfecto! Increase dust collection by adding 1/8" masonite sheet mounted with magnetic tap to cover most of the rear opening.
