Do you think this (see link below) is a reasonable miter saw stand

FWIW, I collected anew Delta DW713saw, so far untested! I did get in
some shop time this weekend, but on an unrelated repair.

The main issueI see with making my own is my lack of a jointer. Another
option is to mount the saw on a table (or saw horses) and use a roller
stand (I've seen pictures of that being done, but it looksrisky). It's
not like I'm planning to build a deck or anythinglike that--more like,
"clamp stand" and "plant table".

Mine sits on a dropped section of my wall cabinet so that the saw
table is level with the rest of the cabinet. Also has a dust
extractor hose attached and a wall mounted spotlight on the cutting
area. I don't do house calls or construction work.
