There isn't.
As a result I cannot afford a large and thoroughly equipped shop. I make do with what I have. Part of that challenge is making the best of limited space. Canoes take up a large amount of space, so working space is one of the most valuable shop assets.
I've been collecting a few too many useful shop accessories. I had a workbench with storage shelves below. I had a mobile room air filter, router table, humidifier, and a small table saw. I also had a large, heavy, too low, work table that mostly just collected stuff and was in the way.
What to do? What to do?
After much consideration I combined them all into one unit. Here is the fruit of that labour!
I used the heavy work table as a base. It was too well built to just get rid of. I built the air filter into it. That white box is the top of it, the part that holds the filters. The fan is below it and exhausts through the humidifier.
I mounted the table saw at one end of the bench top and in plane with it so that it functions as an extension. Dust collection is directly below the table saw.
The whole table/work center is wired for power and mounted on wheels so that I can reposition it as needed.
