The only thing I would consider is making the worktable mobile. You can get locking casters or the type that rotate up and down for moving and stationary.

I bought my first band saw, a new Laguna 14Dx last year.  What got me inspired was one I saw while looking for something to make for my granddaughter’s B-day.  I think it turned out quite nice.
