Small Workshop Game Changer! DIY 3-in-1 Saw Horse and Outfeed Support System
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 11 ноя 2023
- To truly get the most out of my single garage workshop I need to design all my projects to be multi-functional and as compact as possible.
I needed outfeed support for my table saw so I designed a 3-in-1 saw horse and outfeed system that can fold away and be stored when it isn't being used. A Super Space Saver and a very useful addition to my small workshop.

I had an improvement idea for this project. If there was incremental marks added to the adjustable portion. It would make it quicker to height level for each of its task. Great project BTW👍👍
The plans don’t include a comprehensive cut list. Money wasted.
I bought the plans but i have not got a link for them yet.
@golfer571231 same here too!!
looks nice! i like it! one thing to make it more efficent would be to do a mark on the alternating hight, one mark for the band saw hight and one for the drill press hight etc. so you dont have to dial that in every time :)
I was thinking the same thing.
I was thinking about drilling some holes on the slides at common heights. That way you could just put some pins in the holes and not measure.
smart! @@Ethan_Swain
This is the exact reason I have made ALL of the working surfaces for all of my machines in my shop the same height including my workbench so I never need to keep adjusting my infeed and putfeed supports which I use constantly because I make entry doors and am always working with large pieces of lumber.
Pegs would also help with accidental drops if knobs come loose.
This might be the BEST workshop project I’ve ever come across
Um, do I want plans? Yes, yes I do! (I am SO damned glad there are smart people out there that can create plans that I can then follow :)
This is going to be my next build. But I’m making 2 changes and one addition.
Change 1: Instead of caster wheels at the top, which have to swivel to line up with the material rolling across its surface, I’m going to use 1-inch roller ball bearings which are universal in whatever rolls across it in any direction.
Change 2: Instead of putting the casters on the bottom in a fixed extended position, I’m going to design some kind of extendable - “latchable"- roller system, again with the roller ball bearings, so that it can roll around (like your casters do), but actually latched down, but when retracted the frame sits solidly on the ground for better stability. I’m still working out the design details but it’s based on what you did with the drill press. I need to make this change to accommodate the next item; the addition.
The addition: I’m going to make a table top that will fit snugly over the 2 ends so that when extended and latched, I can put the table top on it and then I will then have a fully functional assembly table. When not in use the table-top can be stored up against the wall behind the mobile workstations you’re building; like your drill press and table saw. The narrow side is short enough that it won’t interfere with the French Cleat system you’ve built; it will lean against the wall just below the lowest cleat.
Here’s an Amazon link (US) to show you the Roller Ball Bearings.

The book provides clear illustrations ruclips.net/user/postUgkxbnOKZBE4evMO5V2vroHeCjq6d_MV6wJO diagrams that cover many of the essential topics. The projects at the end of the book are valuable for enhancing your skills and creating your own furniture. A digital platform linked to the book that could offer the plans for other woodworking projects with the cut sheets would have been a nice addition, but overall, the book is excellent.
Just like many others, i would have gone with "Ball Rollers" instead of castors, it would give you a more stable surface while still giving you multidirectional travel. My other suggestion would be to make some visible makings for the most common heights you would use. It would make it quicker and easier to setup e.g. table-saw, miter-saw, drill-press, work surface, saw-horse etc..
Instead of marks, you could cut out a spacer you can put underneath the lifting section. Lift up, set on spacer, tighten down. Keep a spacer for each tool/setting you need. I think it'd make it easier to set up than trying to match the marks.
@@MikiaoD with the exception of the bench grinder, every "work" platform in my shop sits at the same height. No need for multiple settings. I'll build this, as is, because it will work as an adjustable work table in the field.
It would be amazing if you could walk us through the concept and design phases of one of these projects. You create very cool and useful projects and the creativity behind them is mind-blowing. I'd love to see this part of the process.
I agree, very creative indeed
Hardest part there is that would be a 10 hour video to really explain even at surface level. For something like this for example, your looking at all the possible ways to build EACH function, then need to pro con each of them, see what is possible with fabrication, what isn't.. what possibly may interfere with the other features, what is economical, what is obtainable for supplies in a timely manner, etc. The hardest part becomes not giving yourself analysis paralysis at literally every step of the design process.
Over-engineered? Never! That's where the real enjoyment is. Well done!
It’s very clever … as usual !
Bravo !
Now THAT is a great build. Excellent use of space, multi-functional, and simple in its design. Well done!
The term “over engineering” goes well with expensive modern German vehicles; This I call Ingenuity.
Well done!!!!
You really do all the heavy lifting in the thinking department for shop projects! This is amazing!
Genius Boet!
Clever. Well done, well made.
Very good video Jean as always. Just a suggestion for the top, instead of casters you could use nylon roller bearings that go in any direction and are very inexpensive ☺️
Your idea is right. But I prefer to get the steel roller bearings because I find the nylon ones tend to collect sawdust and such more than the steel.
@@oldguy1030 you are right of course, just meant more on the cost side of things
@@oldguy1030 agreed. You’ll need to frequently blow the dust out of any kind of roller bearings (which might turn out to be a major downside compared with the wheels), but the nylon bearings will attract sawdust like a magnet (whereas the steel bearings will only attract metal shavings like a magnet).
When are you guys shipping 😊
Love your design and multi purpose table. I also have a one car garage shop and like you, must take care when adding to the space. Your table checks all the boxes!
Hello, my name is Earl. I am from Connecticut, USA. I have been watching your videos for a few years. I too have a small shop, which I make jewelry boxes. I like the way that you setup your shop. Be safe and stay healthy.
Your friend, Earl👍
Small suggestion. How about using magnets to keep some of the foldable, or collapsible components of your builds closed or secured? Depending on the placement and utility of the construction it could double as a basic automatic alignment assistant. It's just a matter of deciding the system you like best among those available. Maybe leave the possibility for adaptation or easy part replacement though, in case you decide to modify it after acquiring any previously unavailable part.😅
This guy amazes me with everything he does.
Is the plan selling for $5.00 US dollars?
Nice little project, I really love it.
WOW! Very smart. Thanks for sharing.
I love it and i wish I had seen it years ago THX
What a great idea! Thanks for this video.
I hate to be a Debbie Downer, but this doesn’t appear to be much different from a couple of roller stands, and it takes up more space. I actually _have_ a couple roller stands in my shop for exactly the uses you show here. I can hang them on the wall and they don’t take up any floor space at all.
However, it is quite well engineered, and gives me a great idea for how to build a collapsible and portable workbench. If I end up building it, I’ll try and remember to give you a shout out!
Really cool. Lots of functionality in a small box. There has to be an easy way to mount the locks on the inside of the frame instead of the outside then it would be the ultimate easy storing setup.
Great project, great video editing.
That's a really cool build!
This is amazing.
Clever design! Quite smart. Compliments from the USA!
Pretty sweet, looks useful to me.
Have you considered Roller Ball Transfer Bearings instead of caster wheels? They have a smoother glide, more durable, cheaper, and can handle more weight. Thanks for the great plans and instructions!
Awesome and very clever design Jean!
Working together with Jean in his workshop must be like: "Hey, could you hand me the 3-in-1 Saw Horse and Outfeed Support System? I'm going to work on the Super Align & Lock Mechanism - Modular Workbench Solution" 'Ok, where is the 3-in-1 Saw Horse and Outfeed Support System, is it near the On-The-Go Storage For Paints And Wood Treatments?" "No, I think it's under the Ultimate Space Saver For Small Workspaces for the Mini Workshop!" 😄👍
Holy shit!! Talk about your Cal tech physicists n NASA engineers!! Brilliant!! As usual.
You are one of my favorite makers. You are a very creative and effective engineer. I really appreciate your approach to problem solving.
That’s very good 👍🏻 Nice idea 🎉
Efficient, effective, and attractive. Well done.
Great project, presented clearly and succintly. I could really use one of these.
Yes, great idea. Love it
Good morning from the UK and s new subscriber - Love this build and so much more content to binge watch too 👍
Do a second one and install rail clamps as a vise. You will have pretty much a large bench for working on site or at the shop whenever you need to do something big. Great build.
This is slick. Very cool.
Yes very smart build
Very creative.👍🏼
Very nice project. Keep cutting!
looks great, a plan would be wonderful!
That’s kick ass!!! Great job!!!
Just brilliant
Good design.
Outstanding, I love it.
Crazy cool! You’re as awesome of an inventor as you are a woodworker.
I think the really cool part about this is that I can build it from leftover scraps from other projects and some hardware... most of which I have from other projects.
I love it! The sheer inventiveness on this channel is outstanding 👏
How about a little pin index system for your most commonly used heights. Drill a hole and jam in a pin, tighten down the star knobs.
Very clever. I like that a lot.
I need this, great design.
Great project, very clever!
Excellent idea!!!
Slick! Thanks for the video.
I didn't think I would like this, but I really do. I would like one for my shop!
Well done and fairly simple - nice
Great idea so versatile👍
BRILLIAN!!
Very clever. Simple but fantastically useful.
Great idea. Awesome plan
Extremally simplistic (in the best way) and yet extremally functional. I would defiantly love plans.
Ha Ha. your a rock star. great idea. thanks :)
Great build.
Nice build, very clever👍🏼😃
Very slick! Thank you for sharing!
Very creative
This rather ingenious solution to a pain staking issue in most woodworking shops. Thank you for sharing.
Looks like a functional piece of shop equipment 👍
Brilliant idea!!!
Very handy💚🇬🇧🌱
Well done
Brilliant, great job!
I love your channel. You are proof that even with limited space, you can make a great place to work. Thanks for showing us that we can do it.
Genius!!
Awesome idea.
i like it so much, i bought your plan! 👍
Instead of caster wheels, something like a roller ball bearing or “omnicaster” would give you that 360° rotation, but even shorter as well as removing the pivoting that you get from the wheels themselves. I love this idea and will be building one for my table saw and planer out feed! Of course my “height requirements” differ greatly since I’m in a wheelchair, but it’ll be a great addition for my workshop!
Tis lekker mate, very good, I'm going to make one for my shop cheers - Tony New Zealand
That's excellent!
That is amazing.
Great idea well done.
Brilliant.
Brilliant 🎉😊
I like the idea. Building stuff, to build more stuff. A woodworkers life.
I would just make the tops open to the inside and add some finish, like a shop wax.
Also, with lumber prices, it might be cheaper to buy a pair of multi purpose saw horses.
The support is design with a lot of thought. I appreciate that. There are always things that you can improve later.
I love simple ideas that just work. Great Job
What a great system I àm going to attempt it thank you very much-needed for my shop.
Looks great
Some of my favourite projects are the ones born out of necessity. This one is brilliant and I’ll be building one very soon! Keep the great content coming Jean!!
Amazing thing. Gonna make me one of these.
Very clever!
Fantastic idea, very well engineered!!
I subscribed, looking forward to watching your other videos.
Greetings from Los Angeles CA USA.
Happy New Year 2024!!!!
I was thinking instead of the casters on top, how about using some UHMW (Ultra-high-molecular-weight) plastic. Then you can take the covers and have them open to the inside. Those will have the plastic on them too. But they are not level with the top but slope up to act as a ramp so if you material is bowing down coming off the table saw, it will act as a ramp to lift it up and not get caught. That is what I am going to use when I make my set.
Brilliant!
Where is this magical place where you can still get straight, clear softwood lumber? Nowhere near my home. Great design, great video. Thanks!
