Beginner Woodworking

I'm not sure where the right place to post this would be, but here goes.

I bought this DW745 Type 2 saw off of Facebook Marketplace. I think it was abused. I replaced both of the elevating shafts (5140100-04 & 5140100-05). I also had to replace both of the bevel gears (5140061-65).

The aluminum housing seems to be okay and the lifting shafts move in and out without much resistance. I'm still getting this chunky movement when I raise and lower the blade.

I'm looking for advice before I go though the whole process of replacing the entire aluminum housing on the motor.

2x4s, mdf top, pocket-hole screws, (some pocket-holed and some counterbored).

Saw it on the Kreg site and mostly followed the plan. All 2x4s with pocket holes.

I made this shelf to hold mugs I’ve collected from traveling. The outer case is oak (I think), and shelves are other random scraps. Used a French cleat on the back to hang it.

Cedar coat rack and key ring I made from the same plank

Old project I made some years ago to hold fans gifted to me when traveling in China.

I designed these shelves out of walnut with hidden mounting hardware. They let me quickly lift and tilt out any records for playing as well as fill an empty wall with art. Stained with Danish oil and waxed.

They aren't the best looking but they function and they don't collapse when you sit in them. I call that a win.

Show me what you got people.
