How come we choose from just two people to run for president and 50 for Miss America?

There was a good plan for one in Shop Notes several years ago that is probably exactly what you're looking for. Well, I'm 90% sure it was Shop Notes, but maybe it was WoodSmith. Check the Shop Notes site and you should be able to find it.

Anyone have any detailed plans to build a Panel Saw. I don't feel like shelling out over 1,000 dollars on something I could probably build for less than $100.

Rockler sells a set of plans for $3.95 and they have hardware kits also. Go to Rockler.com and type panel saw into the search window.

The one at Rockler with the plan and hardware kit will still cost $300. Just make one.

Platform: Build the wood frame/platform. Make sure it's square. You could eyeball the one at Rockler

You could hang it on a wall, make easel-type legs, or if your ceiling is not too high (like in my garage shop) put a couple of door hinges on it and hang it from the joists (use piece of rope, a pulley, and make a catch for it, mine comes down like pulling down an attic staircase).

Better yet.

Save $70 for the guide and make one out of a piece of hardboard and a piece of 1x4 MDF.

Then you will come in way under $100.

Thanks for you guys that helped out. As for Doug and Dave, I searched on Google under asshole and your names popped up first....lol
