      9:32 I'm not sure how often you have this situation, but this is how I joint thin panels now. ruclips.net/video/b-kXTKVVTL4/видео.html It will quite literally change the way you woodwork. I have a second table saw now that I dedicate to it so it is always just setup. I have it installed side by side with my main saw and they share a fence in the middle. I cut to the left and joint to the right. I installed a fence from Very Super Cool Tools (best table saw fence I have used) and its flexibility allows me to do some really cool things. Anyhow, I hope you buy one and find it useful.

    Just after college, I got an almost identical coffee table , without the inlay, that I sanded and stained back in 2000. That table lasted me for another 20 years and I ended up giving it away when we switched decor. I could literally stand on that thing. It was incredibly sturdy and I still miss it!
