Abstract: The invention provides an extension table (27) adapted to attach to the table surface (13) of a table saw (10). An extension work surface (28) is parallel to the table surface, thus, forming a larger work surface. The extension work surface is generally U-shaped having a base portion (29) and two arms (30). The arms also integrate a unique guide fence apparatus which, when used in conjunction with a cutting blade having a circular surface, allows the saw operator to perform intricate cuts. The extension table is supported from the support frame (11) of the table saw (10) by four legs (63).

Abstract: A method to create a three-dimensional work from a single copy of a two-dimensional work such as a photograph, poster, drawing or painting. A single copy of the two-dimensional work is bonded to a stiff backer forming a composite. The composite is cut using a sculpture station into a plurality of pieces. The pieces are reattached to each other by spacers forming more than one layer. The resulting work can be displayed on a framing box adapted for any surface.
