Yesterday I was out in the shop tuning up the old Delta 24" scroll saw that my grandfather had in the shop when I was growing up. It's been sitting on a "table" made of a piece of plywood across a couple of sawhorses and I got to thinking I should make a stand for it. Most of the stands I've got are shop made from 2x4s and while they are serviceable, I wanted to do something a bit nicer this time. After some doodling, I came up with the design on the left. A friend of mine wanted to see the legs turned out at the bottom so a quick revision and I have the one on the right. I still like the one on the left so I thought I'd ask for some more opinions.
For reference, this thing isn't very big. About 28 in. tall and 20 in. wide.
I'm thinking white oak with a dark stain similar to a fumed finish. I plan to build a case to sit on the lower stretchers to hold the old cigar box of accessories and blades.
