    Automatic thumbs up for orienting us to the finished product before launching into pieces and procedures!
    (Please note, this isn't a sarcastic slow clap: your videos are always very good in that respect. It's just one of my pet peeves!)

    That's a great extension table! I like how you never do a direct copy of what someone else has done. You always put your own ideas into each project.

    Thank you, April! I have been watching your channel for several months and enjoyed every episode. You have no idea how incredibly refreshing it is to see a young person simply tackle every do-it-yourself task and be unafraid to make mistakes, which is the heart of human learning. Also your sharing attitude and correcting errors makes me smile every time since I have made many errors myself while making things. If I could have one more granddaughter ( I already have two.), I wish she could be you. I always told both my daughters and my son that they could do anything they put their mind to and they are pretty much can and do. I bet your family raised you that way as well. Thanks for all the videos, ideas and enjoyment. Keep up the great work! ...Another Texan

    I love your design philosophy, making everything in your shop as movable and collapsible as possible, yet still very functional. I'm slowly working toward your "every tool has its place" philosophy that has changed my life. Keep up the great videos!

    April. I used your design and video to build this ofolding outfield table for my PowerMatic contractor saw. I added adjustable length feature to the folding legs for those days when the shop floor is not quite level. Was tough to get the stationary section installed and at the proper height, but this adds a great measure of safety while saving shop floor space when not needed. Thank you for sharing your design on RUclips.

    Hey April! The out feed table looks great! I built a similar one for my table saw recently and found that I needed to extend the table saw miter slots into the outfeed table to accommodate my crosscut sled. Wasn't hard to do. Great job!

    This is a great space saver for a small shop & easy to clean under in a large shop.
    I got my training in wood working in a 50 X 80 = 4000 square feet shop, that I will not build for myself, but loved the space.
    We had a kitchen cabinet full set finished & put aside to start a new project, while waiting for a deliver date.

    I have watched so many videos on outfeed tables and none matched what I wanted. I never thought of slotting it into the angle iron - absolutely brilliant, thanks April. I will steal this idea.

      Just one question - does your fence not ride on the angle iron?

    Hi April, I subscribed, and wanted to say thankyou for inspiring me to try and make my own furniture. I'm in the UK, and so much emphasis is made about solid wood furniture. But after seeing most of your plywood projects, I think use of plywood can be of the same quality, and is waaay more environmentally friendly in reusing off cuts of wood. Keep up the great work 👍

    Great vid April! I love that addition of the "mounting block" at the rear of the saw. It provides a greater range of options when you attach the table. I'm going to replicate that for my outfeed table. Great idea! Thanks!!!

    I really like the layout, especially the legs. I inherited my dad’s old workbench that has a butcher block maple top. He used it as an outfeed table in his garage. I’m a bit more limited on space so plan on adapting it like this. I bought some gas lift struts to assist in lifting it into place.

  • @carlmclelland7624
    @carlmclelland7624 4 года назад

    Nice job, April!! I bought a Chinatown (Harbor Freight) woodworking table on sale, and then cut blocks to go under the table legs, bringing it to the height of my table saw bed. Screwed the blocks to the bottom of the table legs and - while not a pretty as your outfeed table, it gets the job done... and I can use the woodworking table for other projects.

  • @WaynesWorldGarage
    @WaynesWorldGarage 4 года назад +2

    So I just built one of these. Thank you for the plans. I couldn't find the distance the 1/2" cleat hole needs to be in order for the table to close/fold. I'm sure it's someplace... but the center of the cleat hole needs to be 3/4" down from the top, and 1.1875" in from the cleat edge. (that's 3/16" for the woodworking folks.

    • @sandrarattray1202
      @sandrarattray1202 4 года назад

      About to build this. Thanks for the info.... what size lag bolts/screws did you use? April wasn’t specific in the plans, which just called for 1/2”, but they don’t look like 1/2” in the video. Also length, I’m guessing is 2 1/2 or 3 “ for attaching the cleat to the table saw, but I’m not sure what is needed for attaching the outfeed table to the cleat?

  • @terry2346
    @terry2346 8 лет назад +5

    I really like the folding hinges and the thing you use at the tip of the table legs for adjustment to (possible uneven) floor level; that's what I've been needing for the sewing table I built. You've got a great outfeed table!! Thanks for sharing : )

    I know, it's kind of difficult to explain, but your idea here has just given me an idea, even a "Eureka moment".

    Sweet build. I've got a Delta Contractors saw with tube rails front and back for the fence. I've been using roller stands on the outfeed side. I plan on making a free standing bench/outfeed/router table, but like you, I keep putting it off... Maybe this winter...

  • @Oldsinger
    @Oldsinger 8 лет назад

    Great job, again, April. If I might make one suggestion. I understand you went with pine and similar materials because they were cost effective. My experience with functional shop fixtures such as this has shown that they get used a lot, take a lot of hard wear and when I went with softer woods such as pine or fir, they did not hold up well over time. I suggest using harder woods, such as maple, for the trim pieces and mechanical pieces (such as the pivot). Your design and execution are excellent. I'm sure this fixture will give you many years of use.

I have a Vega fence and it has a square tube on the outfeed side so I'm going to have to design my fixed 'block' a little different, but you gave me lots of ideas and inspiration! I may have to drill in blind holes in the tube and drill and tap for bolts to mount to it.!

    Some finish will make things slide easier on your outfeed table. (I typically use laminate for the top of my home-built stuff like this - wood slides on it effortlessly.)

  • @adirondackwoodsman
    @adirondackwoodsman 4 года назад

    Hi April, I was looking to build an outfeed table for my Grizzly Table saw which is very similar to yours with a Shopfox fence. The one issue I ran into was that the Grizzly has a piece coming out the back of the saw which extends both above and below the fence supporting the guard. I wanted to have the ability to use the guard when I am ripping because it has a splitter on it. Your method of sandwiching 4 pieces of pine together to make the beam that attached to the fence worked out great because I could just cut each layer where I needed to to fit over the guard support. I was forced to use 2 additional pieces because I wanted a solid board at the bottom. This also forced me to have a larger gap between the fixed piece and the larger table so it would swing down properly without hitting the beam.
    Just looked at your inserts with the T-Track and they look great! I will probably tackle that next, but not sure I have the guts to route up to the Steel, so I will probably take it off to do it. :)
    One last thing, I love your ability to break everything down and I have subscribed and can't wait to see what other project you have on your channel!

    Really like the collaborative videos and this build works great for me. I agree with the comment re showing the finished product at the beginning.

    I love my Irwin clamps. For light duty work, they're my go-to clamp. They're inexpensive and simple to use.
