This was the perfect project for a newb like me. Probably took me 10 times longer than it took you but it gave me the confidence to try some more challenging builds. Thanks to you and April.
Ah, cool! I saw on either one of your videos that y'all had attended and collaborated, but just found this one. I had to retire my 30+ year old Craftsman table saw and just picked up a secondhand Ridgid (heavy Sumbi...well, you know). Tryin to put several ideas together to come up with the most versatile, universal outfeed/work table with storage, clamping, holding extras. I enjoy watchin the whole RUclips woodworkin gang. It keeps me energized and pumped for each new project. From southeast Texas...Thanks y'all!
Built one on Memorial Day and it was a fun project and perfect for my skill level as I'm just getting into woodworking. Now I'll look for the video to add a pipe clamp vise. I'll be building your workbench soon then the miter station. Thanks Jay for putting out some of the best instructional videos out there.
Just built this today. Great and simple project. Under an hour and I've got a great work surface and outfeed table for the saw. Thanks Jay, April, and Cheez-its!
Whenever I see two people working at the same time in Jay's videos I immediately assume it's some clever editing trickery... this time it actually is genuinely two different people! Love the table, Jay - nice clean design and simple sturdy construction.
Thanks guys! I did a lot of research on first workbenches and easy outfeed tables (the tool that builds the tool) and decided to build this one this weekend. I don't have a brad nailer yet so I used my Kreg jig and pocket screws for attaching the top surfaces to the skirts and regular spax screws to reinforce the face to face joints. This thing is surprisingly solid! I'm going to find some height--adjustable feet or casters that lock to get it even with the top surface of my sawstop and maybe make some mods for the clearance of the dust port as well (which is currently crashing in to the lower shelf). Thanks so much!!! Next up: Brad nailer!
Nick said he added a few extra wood screws for grandma in his video. All I can say is who's grandma does love good solid wood working assembly... I enjoy all three of your channels. thank keep up the good work and I hope Jan's nose surgery was a success.
This is fantastic. A useful, fast, simple design. Not expensive and very doable for a beginner like me. Incredibly good idea to provide a Sketchup model. Now I can turn everything into metric system. Super Cool. I am a big fan.
Awesome vid guys! April, just watch your fingers with that brad nailer. Can't count how many times a brad has shot out the side of a piece. Keep up the great work!
If they shoot out of the side of the board you are holding the gun 90 degrees in the wrong direction. The nails will tend to bend to the left or right of the head of the gun. Orient the gun so that the bend will go into material instead of poke through into space.
I really enjoy your videos, I've VERY recently become interested in doing woodwork/DIY as a hobby and I've learnt a lot and got a lot of inspiration from your channel. Thank you! I hope to slowly build up my skills and my tools so I can fill my new home with custom made items.
"... and always be observant what the other person may need next." And thus April got some CheezIts too! Nice build; a simple and effective outfeed table with tons of possibilities. I love seeing collaborative efforts like this. Cheer!
I made two of these soon after this video came out and they are holding up great. One is my pocket hole/drilling station (including a tabletop drill press) and the other is used primarily for a charging station and hardware storage (I added shelves on the back). The only thing I did differently was to glue and pocket hole the four-inch pieces for each leg; mostly because the plywood I used was slightly bowed. Anyway, if they continue holding up then I'll build one more (and add to it) for a miter station.
I have made one for extend my table saw, very simple and quick to realise. thanks for your ideas and expertise (April and you). A follower from france (sorry for my english)
Jay Great Build and inspiration for our shop reconfiguration. One nit .... Dimensions for the 4 rails shown in green on cutlist should be 46.5" not 48" to match the two panel dimensions. Missed it on the first build caught it on the second. Thanks again Mike
Norm Abramson built a very similar table on New Yankee Workshop. It was larger and had a system of shop-made caster for easy moving. On Ask This Old House, there is a similar table, maybe the same one, in the scenes in the barn loft. Very practical project.
Wow, I totally forgot that I had a circular saw to rough down plywood. It was so funny, a short 15 year old boy trying to manhandle a 3/4" birch plywood on the table saw haha, great video as usual!
Jay you're a true master at what you do. Top notch editing as always. Great project content. My comments might sound a little generalized or could be considered generically favorable towards you, if they were just kind of glossed over. I'm probably looking for a particular word but can't think of it. What I'm trying to say is, your humor, skill at editing, filming, and structuring your videos is second to none here on RUclips. Few come extremely close though. I always love the projects and the SketchUp tutorials. I think your SketchUp videos are some of the best around, even still! Top notch just doesn't seem to do you enough justice. Good job Jay!
Just built this at my cabin shop, the plywood was very bent because the "shop" is outside, so I used screws instead of brad nails. Two coats of spar varnish because it will get wet from time to time. Easy addition to the cabin.
This is great, yall. As one who always overcomplicates things, this will be a great help to me. I don't remember the specifics of you two's shops at home, but I'm preparing to move my shop to the basement, because of hot and cold weather. I'm planning to go with a much smaller table saw, and am considering a DIY panel cutting saw. I have the wall space, and it would eliminate the need (and safety concern) for a large table saw that wouldn't get used for much besides rough cutting plywood. Have either of you an opinion about that? Thanks.
Looks awesome! Can't wait to try this out! One question i had and that was whats the clearance from the ground to the bottom shelf? is it 12 inches? Thank you very much!
You three work so well together......next time aprils shop.....our yours....with stone and son's...like that table cause it can have so many uses in the shop....👍
When running a big piece of plywood through a table saw you should start with your hands to the left & walk your hands to the right as you push it through. Keeping a 30 degree angle between your hands & the fence will keep the plywood from moving away from the fence. TELL APRIL!!!!
Great video. Would this bench be stable enough with screws to attach the legs instead of nails and glue? I may need to remove them for portability. Thanks!
Nice design for a simple build that (as you said) can be very versatile in its use! Was Nick surprised when he returned or did he already know you two were building it for him?
how is the table holding up? I only ask bc the consistent over builder in me is thinking "glue and brads only...." But I often over build, and am wondering if I should start trusting glue and brads more to get the job done. It would definitely speed up my builds if it's strong enough.
Modern glue is the main holding power. The brad nails just secure pieces until the glue dries. This design has a lot of wide face joints that allow a lot of glue surface area.
Hi hope you guys are well thanks for this awesome and simple build perfect for the shop . Could i maybe ask a question ..... what computer program did you use to work out your plan ?
Hey Jay been watching your videos for a few years. I wanted to know what kind of finish if any you would put on a table like this or workbench. I saw a video where you added boiled linseed oil once. Would you still use this or is there something else you prefer now? I'm looking for scratch resistance and stain resistance. I appreciate the help and keep up the great videos.
Danish oil is probably the best bet for those requirements. It'll offer a little bit of protection without it being really slippery like a polyurethane.

Sunday morning coffee and videos from Jay, Nick and April is the best. You should do this every week.
nice to see you guys working together , most of my time at the office is just watching your videos nick , april and jay.

How do you know he didn't just edit her in? Hmmm

typo Jay's nose surgery and thank you not just thank...
Nice to see people working like you together like a team, I am learning a lot.
This is fantastic. A useful, fast, simple design. Not expensive and very doable for a beginner like me. Incredibly good idea to provide a Sketchup model. Now I can turn everything into metric system. Super Cool. I am a big fan.
Dig it! Nice and simple, just the way I like shop furniture. Great meeting you this weekend, safe travels home!
Nice to see you all in one collaboration. Thanks for all the work you each do.
Awesome vid guys! April, just watch your fingers with that brad nailer. Can't count how many times a brad has shot out the side of a piece. Keep up the great work!
If they shoot out of the side of the board you are holding the gun 90 degrees in the wrong direction. The nails will tend to bend to the left or right of the head of the gun. Orient the gun so that the bend will go into material instead of poke through into space.
Jay Bates what size brads u recommened?
I really enjoy your videos, I've VERY recently become interested in doing woodwork/DIY as a hobby and I've learnt a lot and got a lot of inspiration from your channel. Thank you! I hope to slowly build up my skills and my tools so I can fill my new home with custom made items.
I love how you all are popping up in each others videos, the unity is inspiring. Once I get my skills up I'll achieve that goal!
Love the simplicity of the design.
I think my favorite videos are when my favorite peeps get together and collaborate. Ya'll are awesome.
"... and always be observant what the other person may need next." And thus April got some CheezIts too! Nice build; a simple and effective outfeed table with tons of possibilities. I love seeing collaborative efforts like this. Cheer!
Like the design and how it is make with one sheet of plywood. Great job guys.
this is awesome seeing both you guys in the same video
I don't know how far apart you guys live from each other but its pretty cool you guys get together for this projects, nice table too
The work flow seemed very smooth with both of you.
Just finished my outfeed table from scavenged plywood. It is very strong, yet very light. Thanks for the inspiration ! ! !
I made two of these soon after this video came out and they are holding up great. One is my pocket hole/drilling station (including a tabletop drill press) and the other is used primarily for a charging station and hardware storage (I added shelves on the back).

Anyway, if they continue holding up then I'll build one more (and add to it) for a miter station.
Great use of a single piece of ply! It's cool seeing you two work in Nick's shop!
Good little shop table, love that it can be built from just one sheet of ply. Great job guys! 🤓
I have made one for extend my table saw, very simple and quick to realise. thanks for your ideas and expertise (April and you). A follower from france (sorry for my english)
Glad to hear that. Thank you!
Content de l'entendre. Je vous remercie!
All three of you are awesome. Thanks for sharing your expertise with us!
Nice I really need something like that. Interesting to see your shooting style in Nicks shop with different Angles we don't normally see.
Nice design Jay. Looks like it will be a very popular build for others to try.
Jay
Great Build and inspiration for our shop reconfiguration.
One nit ....
Dimensions for the 4 rails shown in green on cutlist should be 46.5" not 48" to match
the two panel dimensions.
Missed it on the first build caught it on the second.
Thanks again
Mike
Really simple and strong at the same time. well done !
Great collaboration video. It was great getting to meet you yesterday at WIA too!
Great design and it looks like it's so easy to modify. Thanks for sharing it.
Great project thanks for sharing!
This was good for me as I wanted to build a bench with built up plywood legs. Thanks guys.
Bruce Deville
I love the design of the table, is nice to see RUclipsrs collaborate in videos, great job!!!
Really enjoy the collaboration videos. This is a great shop table too
Thanks again you guys - love using it! (when it's not covered in stuff)
Thanks for the detailed video, i made my first workbench to get started in woodworking
This will come in handy- It has now been added to my list of builds
Very good video..simple ...I will make one in my studio in Ireland next month..Thanks
Norm Abramson built a very similar table on New Yankee Workshop. It was larger and had a system of shop-made caster for easy moving. On Ask This Old House, there is a similar table, maybe the same one, in the scenes in the barn loft. Very practical project.
Thanks Jay, I am new to wood working and I am looking forward to making similar workbench, thanks for sharing idea
Great video on table. Looks pretty straight forward on assembly. Stay safe.
Just what I'm looking for! Thanks Jay and April!
Wow, I totally forgot that I had a circular saw to rough down plywood. It was so funny, a short 15 year old boy trying to manhandle a 3/4" birch plywood on the table saw haha, great video as usual!
Amazing collab! I think it is wonderful to help others! You two have my respect! Great table, easy and practical.
made one yesterday, loving it! Easy and quick, thanks for the plans.
great video as always Jay! i use this style for all my pallet tables. simple , quick,& holds alot of weight.
This is a brilliantly simple design. Great Video, Thanks.

Thank you very much.
Wooh! 2002 Flashback. Norm Jr. and Normette build a Outfeed Work Table. LOL Great work guys. Trust you both enjoyed WWIA 2016
dude, You and April rock. I previously subscribed to both of you guys channels, but I didn't know ya'll were cool like that!!!
A great simple table. May make something using this design for my office.
Great video good sir,,,,& it was great talking to you at the meet & great in Cincinnati,,,,
That is really a great looking simple table. Nice work.
Jay two thumbs up! Awesome outfeed table that's very versatile! However, since I'm limited in space April design suit my needs much better.
Just built this at my cabin shop, the plywood was very bent because the "shop" is outside, so I used screws instead of brad nails. Two coats of spar varnish because it will get wet from time to time. Easy addition to the cabin.
Good stuff Jay, April and Nick!
Cheezits standing by - way to go on the assist Jay. :-)
Nice and easy Jay. Good job!
Jay, your videos are 10/10. Keep it up man.
Thank you very much for the feedback.
Subscribed! Wow from lockpicking to woodworking.
This is great, yall. As one who always overcomplicates things, this will be a great help to me. I don't remember the specifics of you two's shops at home, but I'm preparing to move my shop to the basement, because of hot and cold weather. I'm planning to go with a much smaller table saw, and am considering a DIY panel cutting saw. I have the wall space, and it would eliminate the need (and safety concern) for a large table saw that wouldn't get used for much besides rough cutting plywood. Have either of you an opinion about that? Thanks.
Looks awesome! Can't wait to try this out! One question i had and that was whats the clearance from the ground to the bottom shelf? is it 12 inches? Thank you very much!
It can be whatever you want it to be
Exactly what I am looking to build for my upcoming home "shop". Thanks!
Thank you for the free plans just what I was looking for in my new work space
That was a cool thing you guys did for Nick. Great video. :-)
I agree - these guys rock!
You three work so well together......next time aprils shop.....our yours....with stone and son's...like that table cause it can have so many uses in the shop....👍
I finally made mine. It should work perfect for my garage.
Great job!! So neat to see you guys working together!! And of coarse Nick shows up when the work is finished, hahaha j/k
Thanks Jay for sharing your outfeed table design next time you come to my shop and work
Very nice, great collab guys!
what's your opinion on a biscuit jointer? look great for speed and ease in making a large variety of objects / table tops and gates I think
I like April!
Great table, I'm going to make several. Some smaller too using the efficient design.
Yay for single sheet projects!
Snacks on standby.....That's what I call team work.
Plus a "Mario Brothers" ding... that was an extra nice touch.
When running a big piece of plywood through a table saw you should start with your hands to the left & walk your hands to the right as you push it through. Keeping a 30 degree angle between your hands & the fence will keep the plywood from moving away from the fence.
TELL APRIL!!!!
Great video. Would this bench be stable enough with screws to attach the legs instead of nails and glue? I may need to remove them for portability. Thanks!
Are you a wizard? How the hell did you get to the other side of the plywood so quick? You know, when you were using the "Door Board"? Magic man
I'm guessing Nick's shop has never been this clean since this build. :)
Great co-build!
Nice design for a simple build that (as you said) can be very versatile in its use! Was Nick surprised when he returned or did he already know you two were building it for him?
What type of plywood did you use and what thickness was it? Nice video, nice and simple table.
Thanks
I just noticed what your shirt said. What's your favorite place to train?
how is the table holding up? I only ask bc the consistent over builder in me is thinking "glue and brads only...." But I often over build, and am wondering if I should start trusting glue and brads more to get the job done. It would definitely speed up my builds if it's strong enough.
Modern glue is the main holding power. The brad nails just secure pieces until the glue dries. This design has a lot of wide face joints that allow a lot of glue surface area.
But it's holding up just fine.
Hi hope you guys are well thanks for this awesome and simple build perfect for the shop . Could i maybe ask a question ..... what computer program did you use to work out your plan ?
I just wonder how you found room in the shop to set it on the floor after it was done. Nice simple build.
Muy bonito verlos juntos soy seguidor de los tres me gustan mucho los trabajos de los tres
It looks very nice how much would it cost ?
Hey Jay been watching your videos for a few years. I wanted to know what kind of finish if any you would put on a table like this or workbench. I saw a video where you added boiled linseed oil once.

nice friends, nice mate, i miss a team like you
Nice teamwork!
Awesome collab!
I made an out feed table like this but used pocket screws. Very lightweight and easy design.
This dude and his snacks haha you crack me up jay
Thank you for a great video! I wanted to ask what program you used to make the colored sketch for the project? Thank you for your help.
How strong will this table be compared to something made with 2x4s. Also will it be strong enough if expanded to 4ftx4ft.
