The one I was looking at was around $100 on amazon right now. I know its a little pricey but the portability and size are big factors for me.
The Panavise 350 that Bill uses is on Amazon for about $90. It comes with the tray base for that.

There are other, cheaper models of Panavise on Amazon, one for $26 and another for $50 if I remember correctly.
Toughbuilt sawhorses. I *love* mine.
Great job Marine! You gotta get yourself a Panavise 350 to hold your locks! (Im a former Marine my self - 0351)

PANAVISE 350
You can buy it on amazon for 100 bucks
Can vouch for the Bora mobile base kit, bought a few of them for my shop- jointer, planer, radial arm saw, and bandsaw. Just attached the wheel assemblies to 1" ply and its rock solid. When the casters are lowered it's still only like 1/4" off the ground, so while the bandsaw will be more top-heavy than the other tools, it never feels unstable or at risk of tipping.
All the best :)
It’s called a Jawhorse. It is my favorite tool in my shop. You can reverse the clamp and hold an entire sheet of plywood and make an impromptu work table if you needed. They also make a work stand that goes really nicely with the system.
It looks like you are all about portability and storage like me. You should check out Jawhorse.
I use mine to clamp a sheet of plywood to use as a table it is awesome. My Jawhorse came with a 2x4 outrigger leg adapter for stability when making a portable workbench. When I’m all don it all stands back up against the wall.

Had one for over five years and still works. Good for light duty tasks like filing, drilling wood, and similar things.
I love using workbenches for other things. My kitchen island is a base of a workbench, almost identical to this one. It can hold 2klbs, this one has an even heavier threshold. Does the tank fit entirely onto the wood without any hanging off?
I use this tool stand for my 15g!
Panavise 350 is the gold standard. If you want to go with the cheaper but good option, the harbor freight vacuum bottom vise is good as well.
I'm sure I'm taking SOMETHING I've learned for granted, but the list is a good start.

And I love the Bora wheel base - Bora Portamate Mobile Base Kit PM-1100 - Heavy Duty, Universal, Customizable, Adjustable Rolling Set, Dolly Roller Frame and Casters for Moving Equipment, Tools, Machines - 400 lb Capacity https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06W5JJ2QN/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_glt_fabc_JTPJHNZTYM8BTVSKAEF5?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
the SWSA official tripod uses this thread, if you wanna convert yours to that as standard "Standard 3/8"-16 Mounting Thread"
your link to the tripod didn't work for me her it is in case others were having same issue https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004EIL4R2
you can walk in to a hardware store if not fully confident with it all and ask them to show you the replacement bolt , which depending on the design of that tripod is probably quite easy. generally involve remove the existing 5/8"-11 thread and insert 3/8"-16 in its place. some form of adaptor here is less ideal and doesn't look like that's necessary lookinag at the comments in that listing, there is someone for example who has successfully replaced the bolts and using that very tripod for SWSA
Let me introduce you to the Rockwell JawHorse. I lived in a house with a converted garage, so nowhere to have a vice. I built both of my AR-15 uppers and my AR-10 upper using one of these. It worked fantastic, and it folds up to store in a closet. Just get a quality upper vice block (I used No-M.A.R) and a cheap torque wrench from somewhere like Harbor Freight and you're good to go. You can probably find the JawHorse cheaper than Amazon if you shop around a little.

The large compact stand restocked yesterday on PB site and are now oos. And the amazon ones that do restock evey now and then ship like a couple weeks later. If you don’t wanna wait some more, people have used this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01381O7NS/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_imm_t1_PBT4NR9P2X8122Q14M73
Look into wheels designed for shop tools tou can get the ones that can be raised/lowered so it's stable when not moving and you step in a pedal to make it mobile.
at least that's what I would do
Panavise 350 and thanks.

Is the money for the stand not in your budget right now or have you just had difficulty getting one?
If you don't mind a little DIY or compromise, some have used this stand for PowerBlocks. Check out the customer images in the listings to see an example.

this is what i was talking about, i love them because of how often i ground cut. but my newest saw horses have a vertical set for sheet goods on the legs to make standing cuts to plywood. ill never buy horses again without them. this is the ones i got, but most of the highend new ones have this feature now if you flip through the pics they have you'll see them demo it. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B079X4CS4S/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_fab_.QyzFbSEKPMWN
Those castors my friend, are the Bora Portamate PM-1100 Universal Mobile Base Kit.
https://www.amazon.com/Portamate-PM-1100-Universal-Equipment-Stability/dp/B06W5JJ2QN
I wanted something beefy and low to the ground. The cast iron jointer weighs 80 pounds, it's very solid in all directions when you release the foot pedals.
I would be a lot more worried about it being permanently on wheels. To me that is way more dangerous than no riving knife. I have not had a riving knife or blade guard saw in 40 years of having table saws. I do have an assortment of push sticks that I use regularly.
All of my shop tools are on 4-wheel or 3-wheel mobile bases. I like the 4-wheel type better. One like this:
Always stand to the side of the material that you are trying to cut.

I have something like that and it's caught the bar on squats and bench many many times. Keep in mind I think it only orders one at a time. Being able to fail safely will increase your lifts.
I’m by no means an experienced picker (<1 yr), but I think the night school set is probably a solid deal. I had watched a lot of these guys, LPL, & BB pick before I got started, plus had read some of the literature out there on the subject.
The night school will get you started, but I’d probably add some pry bars in .040 & .050 and a worm rake to get started. I actually recommended it to my younger brother recently. I think sparrows makes pretty good gear for a reasonable price. Just make sure to budget for some real locks too—the belt list is a handy reference—Master to start with, then Brinks & Abus would be a good bet (it’s exactly how I started).
Vise is a Panavise 350 but it can wait if you’re on a budget. It will be nice once you start picking cylinders, or padlocks with serrated pins (Paclock & American).
Hope that helps!
The bench looks great. I've always been a fan of having a little shelf right under the saw. It's the natural place to hoard all your pencils.
I just got This Bora stand and it's been amazing for working outdoors, doing framing, siding and trim. The saw pops on and off, so it's very easy to move by yourself.
That's been a vital feature on one of my job sites in upstate NY. The rain comes and goes in an instant, and the site is in the woods, so you can't always see it coming. I use the stand in conjunction with a roller stand for cutting long boards. I was chopping small pieces from the ends of 16' ship lap board with ease.
Time will tell if this stand will hold up. The steel frame seems sturdy enough, but I'm considering doing a little preventative maintenance by replacing the handle bolts. They seem chintzy. Also, this doesn't give you any opportunity for using a stop block, which is a bummer, but not a total deal breaker.
I have used the dewalt miter stand quite a bit in the past. What lead me to get the Bora is that the dewalt has very weak legs. I've seen 3 different stands go down because of these weak legs. The stop block feature is completely unreliable as well.
For $86 it's hard to fault the Bora. It's been really awesome so far.
What he said the biggest baddest 10" table saw that you can find on Craigslist or afford new. Go belt drive not direct drive or flexible shaft drive.
Just be sure to get a mobile base for it. I like the 4 wheel kind here is a link from Amazon. I have both a 3 wheel and 4 wheel type. 4 wheel works better. In a 1 car garage you want to find a place to tuck it away and pull it out for ripping or cutting larger panels.
Thanks for this...I had this in my cart, but am wondering which jaws might be more versatile.
I bought this: https://www.amazon.com/BORA-Portamate-PM-4000-Folding-Mounting/dp/B002HORLUO
I'm never gonna move my DW715 off of it, so, I'm looking for a simple way to install stop block/Starrett measuring tape on there.
Suggestions pls. TIA
