: I built all my work tables at the same height as my table saw

Thanks. I drew up the plans for the building on a shareware CAD program and then had them reviewed by an architect friend. He added two columns on the centerline of the space and stamped the plans. I replaced his columns with a site built 32' by 5' bridge truss to eliminate the damn columns. No problems in ten years, sometimes with four feet of wet snow in the valleys. Yes, it has taken me ten years to get around to finishing this space. Wives always think the house should be finished first!
