Curious why this plan expires from a paid order and others don’t?

In what is most likely user error, I didn’t find in the plans a recommendation to measure the width of the saw before doing the cuts. So I ended up needing to make the width an extra 1/2 in wider to accommodate, which meant using more ply. Also, I didn’t find the instructions clear about “installing” the 12×1 inch. I didn’t find where in the instructions what was meant by that or what hardware I should use. I am a novice wood worker, so just a cautionary note for other novices who may be contemplating these plans. My casters and piano hinges didn’t come with screws as well, so that was one extra thing to go back to the store for. I wish I had paid attention when ordering. Overall though I thought they were good!

Started yesterday with some left over 3/4 red oak plywood. Only thing that stopped us from finishing yesterday was we needed the back piece. So with a couple of minor alterations to your plans we got it complete today and 100% fully functional. We have a 12″ Dewalt miter saw, so its heavy. We added 2×4 supports along the edges of the saw tray. Still not sure how but one fold out tray no mater what I did, it swings out about 3/16s low at the meeting point once we started setting up plum. Still have a few extras we plan on putting on it but was using it this after noon. Thanks for the easy to understand plans.

The plans are great. The miter saw stand is awesome and I love it.
