What do you tall woodworkers do with your "built for the average height"
tools? For example, my tablesaw seems a bit short for me so I'm considering
adding some extensions to the legs.
Pictures of your solution would be great.
Thanks.

I get TONS of spam offering to both add inches and drop them,
depending of the location. <G>

This raises it up an inch, and you can roll the TS around the shop.

I put a wooden frame between the stand and saw cabinet on my
contractor's saw. It has long holes bored through it where the stock
bolts go. I got some 6" replacement bolts and it worked fine.
I ended up taking the thing out though. I like having the table lower.
I'm only 6'4" though, so your "problem" may be bigger than mine :)
Another alternative would be to build a nice cabinet with doors and
drawers and bolt the stand onto that.

I am 6' 6". I built a table to set my contractor saw on with a 30
inch extention table to the right and flush with the saw top. It is
around 44" high. I also built a work table of about the same height.
The 44" is one inch short of my elbow when standing up. My jointer is
of standard height.

For my TS I built a mobile stand which raises it 2". I built stands for my
bandsaw & drillpress that raise those to a comfortable height. I don't like
bending over. I'm 6' 2.5"

I need more than an ince, but I have seen similar setups that add perhaps 4
or 5 inches.
Thanks for the link.
