DAY FOUR...
Did not get chit done yesterday, distracted and busy with new furniture deliveries
Today though I'm ready to start painting the bottom shelf, and resolve the cutting hole and altering the top so the saw can be attached
I did though get out to Home Depot for a new can of my custom grey, this is my color, had it mixed years ago to match the new electrical panel box so the big piece of plywood it is mounted to is a perfect match, and then one thing leads to another and all my other machine stands have been painted the same black & grey

Have you considered drawers in the bottom? Mine is mounted on the other end of that metal bench that has 6 drawers. Very handy. It holds saw blades, the remote pedel for operating the saw, clamps, measuring tools and lots of my wood working hand tools. There is a power strip on the back too that is handy for my purposes for running other power tools when the unit is moved outside.
Drawers would be cool, but for me not a real big need, there are two drawer units that each have four drawers that make up my existing work bench. If I did not have all that storage drawers would have been a great idea for the bottom of the saw.

What my Dad did was build a housing around the bottom area of the blade, that has a standard 3" round connector, and the electrical switch for the saw has an outlet on it. The hose from the shop vac connects to the 3" round and the shop vac plugs into the outlet, so when you turn on the saw the shop vac comes on and it takes most of the saw dust right into the vac. It makes the setup loud, but it works. There are times I don't use it though because sometimes I can't think through all that noise.

DAY FIVE...
It was a good day, lots got done, test fitted saw to the top, got the top hole cut out, layed out the location of the metal braces that the top bolts to, got two coats of paint on the bottom shelf pieces, and one coat onto the top.
Today is more painting, screwing the bottom shelf pieces in, bolting the top down, and finally getting the beast mounted. I am so looking forward to picking this thing up for the last f'ing time...

Wow, it's really coming together nicely! I wish I had a hobby like that.
I don't think working with saws is a good idea for me though, I might lose one or more fingers

My dad was using one of those saws to cut a piece of wood and had his fingers too close to the blade,
he took a little bit off of all the fingers on his right hand...wasn't pretty.
