Not sure who had the original idea, but I stumbled across it in one of the Bingelis sportplane building books (which if you don't have, you should). I have a similar setup to the ones posted here, but I incorporated a 2x4 "post" in the middle of the table. At the top of the post I mounted a power strip. My shop is / will be in a garage (still unpacking 2 months later), where there's an outlet in the ceiling feeding the garage door opener. Spare outlet from that feeds an extension cord that supplies the power strip at the top of the tool stand post. So, while moving the stand around, cord is "up", not on the floor annoying you.
