I did something similar, except I added angle down each corner of the original legs and welded a bracket for heavy rubber wheels so the saw can be picked up and rolled over gravel. I'll post pictures tonight if you'd like to see my take on it. I like your design though; any plans for adding a coolant pump/reservoir for the blade? Makes a huge difference in noise and blade life when it's lubricated and kept at a decent temp. Simplest designs I've seen take a HF fountain pump, water-soluble cutting fluid, some tubing, a bucket, and a nozzle. Just don't forget to add a sieve at the top of the bucket to filter out debris/chips as those will kill your pump.
