3D plans are good but there are some gotchas that are not in plans that were on video so it was a must to watch video and review plans for full picture. Otherwise it worked out perfect and very sturdy.
Nice detail on the drawing(s). Thanks
I built the expanding planer stand. It looks beautiful. I planed the lumber down to just a little under 1.5 inches X 3 inches. Did I overdo the planing? Next I'll build the expanding miter saw stand. I bought better lumber this time vertical grain fir. No knots, it looks great but I don't know if I still need to plane it down? It is 1.48 inches X 3.5 inches but still has the typical bullnose edges.
