It is important to have a flat, stable surface to assemble and finish projects. This is problematic if your shop floor is uneven. To overcome this obstacle, I built this rolling assembly dolly. It features torsion-box construction, three casters, and adjustable leveling feet, which ensure stability. To lock down the feet, unthread each bolt until it touches the floor, then tighten down the wing nut on top; loosen the wing nut and raise the bolts to free the dolly for movement. When not in use, you can stand the dolly against a wall out of the way.

Woodriver Circle Cutting Jig
The WoodRiver circle jig, which produces cuts up to 32-1/2 in. dia., and I can confidently recommend it. Unlike similar jigs that can pop off of their pivots mid-cut, ruining a panel in the process, this one has a robust pivot point that registers securely in the jig and workpiece.
