WORKSHOP PICS, TIPS, & INSPIRATION
Arroyo:
You guys and your basements. I was just reminded this last weekend of how awesome it would be to have one. I'm constantly playing Tetris in the garage putting equipment on the side walls so my wife doesn't shoot me.
That's an incredible work space BadMouth, hella jealous.

It is a Vega 40 PRO. (because I might build 39" upper cabinets for my kitchen someday)
I'm not sure whether to recommend it or not. It has worked flawlessly, but the fit and finish feel a bit homemade.
The cap in the end of the tube is identical to what would be found on a roll of dollar store christmas wrapping paper.
I paid $260 from Vega through Amazon and would recommend it for that price. No way I'd recommend it for $369.
Here is what amazon gives me as the original product link, although the description is for an earphone cable. :dunno
https://www.amazon.com/WDEAHK-Earphone-Cable-Converter-Compatible/dp/B000022621/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8
I'd say the reviews on there are accurate.
EDIT: I still have the original Ridgid fence if you want to try your hand at extending your fence using that. ;)

Thanks Badmouth. Did you end up having to drill holes to get it to fit?

Here is a battery storage unit I built last weekend out of scrap material. It isn't anything special but I built it specifically for the batteries and chargers that I have so everything would fit perfectly. Finding a workable place to put the EGO batteries and charger have been a particular frustration for me and this ugly thing solved my problem. So my "tip" is just that you consider building some workshop pieces yourself so they fit your unique needs.

You guys are all so organized. I need to get my act together.
