I used mostly pallet wood, the back, floor & drawer bottoms are made from 1/4 " paneling from partition walls that I removed from the shop, also the electrical & 2×4′s for the base. I used up a lot of scrap plywood.
The industrial supply down the street from my shop discarded office work stations that I used for the tops.
The switch near the miter saw controls both saws & the dust collector .
The pic of one end shows the hole for the vacuum hose and electric for dust collector.
The 2 large drawers will be for small scraps, one for fire wood, the other for hardwood & other usable pieces. There are 2 shoots next to the miter saw.
There are 3 slots at the back for 3 to 6’ scrap pieces & 3 shelves for 18" to 24" scraps.
I will eventually put on drawer fronts when I find just the right material.
More to come.

Thanks Mark, I like saving money on recycled, more money for tools.
Also, I like the rustic look.
Yes, there are 3 outlets, 1 for each saw & 1 for the vacuum. The switch near the miter saw controls all three. That way the vac has to be on for the saws to work.
I getting ready to post more pics on the radial saw station.

Brian, I guess great minds work alike.
I have a real old table saw without the new safety switch.
So I rewire to allow the dust collector to come on with the saw.
