Haha, I love fancy stuff in my shop, but it’s just an outfeed table (and I spent most of my money on the workbench build) 😝 I did edge band it with solid ash…but that was cut from leftover scraps from the workbench, so I guess that was free too. 😂
Looks great. I really appreciate the way you just voice over the video and we can keep watching you work while doing the whole "like comment subscribe" that everyone does. It's refreshing to not just have to skip that nonsense, and I wish other channels would follow your lead. Great video, great project. I wish I could give you more thumbs up than just the one.
Great tutorial. Thanks for taking the time to share. You do not have to be humble about asking for some recognition for your time and effort in sharing this valuable content. Alas, over here in Scotland, we do not have as much space as our Canadian woodworkers. That said, I'm fortunate in having a 6-metre by 3 metre garage that is big enough to accommodate a mitre saw station, a workbench, a table saw, not to mention all the nonsense that goes along with a 'man cave' workshop.
It’s not obnoxious if you enjoy teaching/ sharing with others. Which you must by making the video. I also appreciate that you admitted and showed some screw ups. Good breakdown for a scrap wood idea. Thanks.
I’m new to your channel and I really enjoy your videos. I love how your outfeed table is functional without being overboard and expensive. I wish harbor freight had drawer slides … I so far have avoided making anything with drawers because the slides are so expensive. Keep up the good work!
Thank you, and welcome to the channel! Do you have any tips for shop furniture without drawer slides? I’ve used a few different methods in the past that worked out well, but I’m always looking to learn more!
I have seen builds on YT without draw slides. They make the bottom panel of the drawer from 1/4" plywood and overside half an inch either side. In the cabinet, they gut grooves (dados) for the oversize drawer bottom panel. It is absolutely fine for shop quality drawers.
great design, ❤ simple yet functional and attractive. I too love that you built it with scraps and regular construction lumber. I am soon moving into a new dedicated shop and have room for a proper outfeed / assembly table. To quote the lads in Chicago..." you're my inspiration" 😂
Nice build. I have an old Craftsman 113, highly modified/updated, that also has the blade guard hung off the motor mount making it a bit hard to fit any standard table. I build a similar 48x48" outfeed that also doubles as an assembly table. I made mine out of an on-sale Rockler steel shop stand set... adding a built-up top from extra wood and 3/4" plywood with 2-way lockable casters. Easy to move and lock down as -needed. I added some dog holes and routed a bunch of MicroJig MatchFit groves so I can clamp anything I desire when used for assembly. Drawers tend to collect stuff, so I just left one large open shelf under mine to hold items when I build projects... easy to get at. I totally agree with you... it improves table saw use 1000%.
Very nice! I agree that drawers often collect garbage, but I still love them. My solution is making the drawer boxes shallow, with only the fronts at the height I need. That forces me to operate with only one layer of “stuff” in the drawer.
Great job and nice presentation. As nice as it is to have an out feed table, it’s even better to have it serve another purpose. It’s ideas like this that help people tweak their ideal version. Although I think the majority will use your example.
Great job. Thanks for taking the time to share it. Looks very useful. Potential tip (we’ll let the “experts” offer their correction): next time you’re laying laminate, try working from the middle toward the ends. Ive had better success getting the sheet aligned using this method. Your way got the job done, so that’s what really matters. I too love the JessEm doweling jig. I think I’ll watch your video on this topic to see what i can learn.
Thanks for your comment! Since recording this video, I have also noticed that most others I see on UA-cam do as you suggest: working the laminate from the middle out toward the ends. A good tip to put into practice the next time I apply some!
Hey, I appreciate that! I feel it’s important to be true to who we are and what we hold most dear. Can’t hide something that makes up such a big part of what makes me, me! Blessings!
@5:35 I thought to myself, using a Woodpecker T Square in the same shop as Ryobi and Rigid gear? Doesn't that break one of the UA-cam Woodworking channel 10 commandments?? 🤣
Haha. I like accurate tools, but I lean toward igaging more than woodpeckers. I do have their tiny little square that cost me a whopping $29. It’s…square. 😂
Enjoyed the video. Nice to see your work and you avoided the annoying music some add. I hit the like and subscribe button so, I am looking forward to learning from your future projects. All the Best from the lower 48.
Nice job. Good for you. Overbuilt which means heavy but better than underbuilt. One thing about the top, you could have used Weldbond to glue the laminate. I glued all my kitchen cupboard doors with it. No peeling ever.
Great build! I used very similar drawer pulls recently as I liked the way they looked and they turned out to be super annoying always getting hung up on my pants
Thanks! I haven’t had any issues with these pulls in the shop, but I have similar ones in our kitchen, and we’ve definitely caught pockets and robe sleeves on those ones!
0:23 I see the Makita tracksaw teared out the other side of the plywood and you used blue (green) tape to minimize it, but you could also have used the depth cut stop function of the saw to make a first pass cutting only 2-3mm deep and then passing it again to complete the cut. Clean cuts every time!
Very true! I often do that now…I’m not exactly sure why I wasn’t during this video. Thanks for the reminder though. Any other track saw tips? I’m always looking to learn more!
Was trying to find you on insta there to show you how I setup my outfeed for this. But my outfeed doubles as a workbench.. that I still gotta finish, took some trickery to get it to work with the motor bump.
Router tip: you can't tighten the collet completely if it is bottomed out in the bore. Grab a 1/2" grommet and drop it in before any 1/2" but or the 1/4" adapter offers enough squishyness to tighten the bit completely
I have the same table saw and fence, I very much like what you have built. Have you created any dimensioned drawings of this table. I want to incorporate some of your ideas in the out-feed table I am in process of designing.
Not yet! I quickly modelled what I was going for and then built, but I haven’t gone back to adjust for my actual dimensions and the changes I made. I do plan to make plans for it at some point though.
I 3d printed this design: www.thingiverse.com/thing:6179749 My only issue is that it limits the saw’s ability to easily move to certain angles when against the wall like I have it.
I think it does. It’s still not great. I’ve since gone back to the stock setup and it definitely feels like I’m getting worse dust collection now than with the mod.
I built a table around my saw, but I hate the dados everyone cuts to allow the runners to go past the back side of the saw top. So, I just use short runners installed close to the front of the jig. Never had a problem so long as I ensured that the outfeed is slightly lower than the saw top, which it should be anyway. This way you don't need the ugly dados on your outfeed top.
I hear ya, they’re not my favourite. I like the stability of the longer runners, and also had to accommodate things like my miter gauge. Another option is to set the outfeed table even with the bottom of the miter slots on the saw…but then you lose some of the support you get from it being even with the top. I’m glad you found a solution that works for you!
That’s a huge outfeed table, very nice to have the space. I like the simple economic construction. You used two sheets of plywood for strength I assume. Wouldn’t it be cheaper to use MDF, or combination of, since you’re covering it?
It’s this here: m.banggood.com/Aluminum-Alloy-Woodworking-260mm-90-Degree-Track-Saw-Square-Guide-Rail-Square-Right-angle-Guide-Rail-Electric-Circular-Saw-Track-Engraving-Machine-p-1920745.html?cur_warehouse=CN&Neworder171109&sc_src=email_2675773&sc_eh=7f1d650c208eaaef1&sc_llid=39767911&sc_lid=105229698&sc_uid=MzBufLW0s1 It’s just “okay” though. I think it would work better if it were longer, but I find it’s easy to have it seem like it is set firmly against the plywood, but then end up off square over the length of the track. If you can, I’d save for the TSO track square. It gets rave reviews on UA-cam. Thanks for watching!
Really nice table and the laminate should make the pieces slide easier. Did you consider a table that had a built in spot for your table saw or did you want to keep them separate? Just curious. Thanks
Thank you! I wanted to keep them separate. My table saw is freestanding and has the motor hanging out the back, which is also where they put the mount for the splitter. I think it would’ve been annoying to design around having everything all in one for this one.
First time I’ve seen anyone make the flip top for accessing the back of the saw, but it didn’t look like you cut the laminate so that you can actually flip it up… did you forget or did it just not come through in the video very well?
I didn’t end up cutting it. I found that I was able to take the splitter on and off without too much trouble without flipping it up, so I decided to fasten it down to my support brackets. It totally works though, so with a quick cut of the laminate I can use the feature again.
How are you handling dust extraction? I'm in the process of rebuilding the cabinet for my Craftsman 113, as the stock stand started to collapse, and I want to include dust collection on it.
For the Ridgid table saw, I did two things: 1) I 3D printed a 4” dust port to replace the stock 2.5” one. 2) I built a plywood box between the saw’s legs with a slope down towards the back. I put a hole in the back panel to run a dust hose to the blade housing, and, I never got around to it, but I needed to put a second port in the bottom of the sloped portion of the box to help clean it out. My original plan had been to just extract from the back of the box, but it didn’t give me enough extraction around the top of the saw. Hope that gives you some ideas. Thanks for watching!
Nice table but did you have any issues with tilting the saw to 45 degrees. I have the same saw and the motor hits the bottom of the table at about 30 degrees
Hey, that’s a great question! If you look closely, you will see that the “flip up” portion of the table is a single thickness piece of 3/4 (18mm) ply whereas the rest of the table is doubled-up for strength. This gave me JUST enough space to go to 45° without issue. I recently purchased a used Sawstop contractor saw and its motor also allows me to swing to 45° without any problems. Hope that helps!
Yes, it's great for making non-bevel cuts when the blade guard/splitter would have gotten in the way. It's the Microjig splitter. You can find it here: amzn.to/4auqaTp
Yes, for sure. I recently upgraded to a used sawstop (early Masters graduation gift), but I always said that the splitter and no safety feature were the only issues I ever had with it.
You can get some flip up casters off Amazon for pretty cheap. They let you use the leg levelers, but then roll the whole thing away when you’re done. Maybe that would work for you.
A piece of advice from a guy with decades in the furniture business... T Nuts used in this way are VERY weak. If you need to move the table be very careful. With enough pressure on the foot, that t nut will pop out. I've had to fix a MILLION of those at the plant and when I did repair work as a side hustle and as favors for family and friends. Barrel nuts would be a better option. Good looking table though. Good work!! Again Advice not criticism.
Nice work. The laminate is a great idea to keep things “slippy”. Do I see the Ridgid TS3650 there? Such a great saw for the price. Shame they quit making it. Question: I notice you have a track saw and used it. But, when it came to the 1/4” plywood you did that on the TS. Seemed like a bit of a sketchy way to do that. Any reason to use the TS instead of the track saw? Thanks for taking the time to make this video! Just saw this pop up in my feed today. :)
The TS3650 is a great saw. It's since moved on from my shop, but a friend of mine now has it. My only complaint was the location of the splitter's mount in the back. As far as the plywood on the table saw...I have no idea why I did it that way. 😂 No, in going back to refresh my memory, it is because of the repeatability. I was making drawer boxes, and I always find it a lot faster and more accurate to make multiple same-size cuts on the table saw.
do you have any suggestions on how to keep the Rigid tablesaw fence square to the blade? My fence can be completely toed in or out everytime I lock it down.
Do you have the 3650? That’s the one in the video and it never gave me any issues. It has a little plastic piece at the back end of the fence (the outfeed side) that holds the back end and the front end always clamped square. I’ve heard that the one that came after it (the R4512 I think) had some issues. This forum seems to have a fix though, if that’s the one you have: www.lumberjocks.com/threads/fix-for-ridgid-r4512-table-saw-fence.58544/
I liked and subscribed. BUT NOT BECAUSE YOU ASKED. You're not the boss of me. AND NO BELL ICON. No! But the real question is how smug were you that you had most of the wood? What was the oldest piece you had that you'd been saving "just in case it comes in handy"?
Haha, that’s great! I didn’t have anything I’d been holding onto just in case for this one. It was all leftovers from my garage build and some plywood I’d bought back when I found some on sale. Thanks for watching, liking, commenting, AND subscribing! You ROCK!
Thank you! Sometimes I need the reminder to get out into the shop. It’s always great to be out there, but I often have to push myself to get off the couch. Cheers!
Nothing wrong at all with the way you did it. Covers a multitude of sins and looks like it will be around through several saw upgrades. Only thing I take issue with it the useless blade guard. - You do know they are only designed to keep from putting a board on top of the blade and have it launch back. - A spliter is one thing "Guard is a whole 'nother ballgame.
Thank you 🙏🏻 I like using a blade guard as often as possible. It may not be foolproof, but anything I can put between me and a blade spinning 4500rpm feels good. It also helps cut down on the sawdust blowing right back into my face.
You can always make the table smaller and mobile, if needed. In my previous shop I had my workbench in behind the table saw to act as outfeed support, which worked decently well too.
There is nothing wrong with self promotion. It's how we get jobs, wives, husbands and everything else in life. You want a like an a subscription to build your channel up. You got one more.
I really like your video, but I have to comment on the 'don't forget to like and subscribe'. Because anyone who's ever seen a UA-cam video already knows how to click like, and subscribe if they find the channel interesting. It's like asking someone to not forget their car keys before they drive to work. Isn't it that obvious? But again, thanks. I especially liked the Formica part, because I haven't worked with that yet.
For sure. It’s one of those annoying things that all the UA-cam best practices say you need to do…but everyone hates people doing. 😂 Thanks for watching and commenting!
Of course, if I like what I see, I always give a like and if the youtuber shows several nice things I might even subscribe. But I never, as in never, do so just because the youtuber asks or begs for it. That might even make me go opposite. You get a like if I like it. Im a grown up, dont treat me like Im stupid and wouldnt think of it. Well…. you asked! 😉
I can't believe you didn't use a combination maple and oak and walnut! LOL It's nice to see a regular guy like me, using stuff he already has, to make a super handy and well made project. Good job.
Haha, I love fancy stuff in my shop, but it’s just an outfeed table (and I spent most of my money on the workbench build) 😝
I did edge band it with solid ash…but that was cut from leftover scraps from the workbench, so I guess that was free too. 😂
Props to the creative use storing your track saw rails on the garage door. Definitely going to steal that trick!
Please do! The fastcap hangars are great.
Looks great. I really appreciate the way you just voice over the video and we can keep watching you work while doing the whole "like comment subscribe" that everyone does.

Great tutorial. Thanks for taking the time to share. You do not have to be humble about asking for some recognition for your time and effort in sharing this valuable content. Alas, over here in Scotland, we do not have as much space as our Canadian woodworkers.

Glad it was helpful! The garage is a new thing for me. Until this last year, I was woodworking in a 95sqft garden shed!
thanks for sharing..really appreciate the extra steps you Canadians take for personal satisfaction..good job sir!

You could use wood for slides. They won't roll on ball bearings or have soft close mechanisms but they will work (unless you build them too tight😁).
I have seen builds on YT without draw slides. They make the bottom panel of the drawer from 1/4" plywood and overside half an inch either side. In the cabinet, they gut grooves (dados) for the oversize drawer bottom panel. It is absolutely fine for shop quality drawers.
Love the video, especially the last screen shot. God bless you young man and may you have a blessed life!
Thank you!
great design, ❤ simple yet functional and attractive. I too love that you built it with scraps and regular construction lumber. I am soon moving into a new dedicated shop and have room for a proper outfeed / assembly table. To quote the lads in Chicago..." you're my inspiration" 😂
Thank you so much! It’s amazing how nice construction lumber can look when you take the time to clean it up. Best of luck setting up the new shop!
Nice build. I have an old Craftsman 113, highly modified/updated, that also has the blade guard hung off the motor mount making it a bit hard to fit any standard table.

Just a quick suggestion. It's usually a better idea to start in the middle and work your way outward when attaching Formica.

I made my outfeed cabinet with the top below the miter slots. I can place it anywhere I want.
Absolutely an option. I chose not to do that because I want full support when ripping full sheets of plywood or really long lumber.

Nice table but did you have any issues with tilting the saw to 45 degrees. I have the same saw and the motor hits the bottom of the table at about 30 degrees
Hey, that’s a great question! If you look closely, you will see that the “flip up” portion of the table is a single thickness piece of 3/4 (18mm) ply whereas the rest of the table is doubled-up for strength. This gave me JUST enough space to go to 45° without issue. I recently purchased a used Sawstop contractor saw and its motor also allows me to swing to 45° without any problems. Hope that helps!
I have an identical table saw and noticed you have a yellow riving knife sort of thing. What is that? I know these didn't come with one
Yes, it's great for making non-bevel cuts when the blade guard/splitter would have gotten in the way. It's the Microjig splitter. You can find it here: amzn.to/4auqaTp
@@windfirewoodwork Thanks! I'll look it up. I also need to build an out feed table as well. Thanks for the video!
How obnoxious 😂. Great video!
Glad you enjoyed! 😆
Couldn't you put locking casters on it also that way you can roll it out of the way if you need to
Yes. I actually have a set I purchased on Amazon sitting in my shop in case I decide to do that.
What a nice outfeed/assembly table.Do you really use a blade guard?Great video and see yah next time.
I try to use one as often as I can. I’m a smidge accident prone, so it always seems like a good idea 😄
Oh nice, we have the same table saw.
Such a good saw, would be better with a built in riving knife.
Yes, for sure. I recently upgraded to a used sawstop (early Masters graduation gift), but I always said that the splitter and no safety feature were the only issues I ever had with it.
Wait, you're Canadian?!? 😂 I should have caught the accent sooner. Feeding the algorithm for you from a bit South - almost to the Gulf of Mexico. 😄
Sure am! I appreciate the algorithm feeding. 😀
I’ve been considering building an out feed table but I need it to be mobile
You can get some flip up casters off Amazon for pretty cheap. They let you use the leg levelers, but then roll the whole thing away when you’re done. Maybe that would work for you.
@@windfirewoodwork just how big was your old shop?
9.5’ x 9.5’
It was a tight squeeze. 😄
@@windfirewoodwork I’m building my shop/shed it’ll be 10x12 outside dimensions
Awesome: any size shop is a blessing!
The final screenshot made me subscribe🙂God bless, and happy sabbath 🙏🏼
Thank you, and to you too!
A piece of advice from a guy with decades in the furniture business...
T Nuts used in this way are VERY weak.
If you need to move the table be very careful.
With enough pressure on the foot, that t nut will pop out. I've had to fix a MILLION of those at the plant and when I did repair work as a side hustle and as favors for family and friends.
Barrel nuts would be a better option.
Good looking table though.
Good work!!
Again
Advice not criticism.
Great advice, thank you! 🙏🏻
Nice work. The laminate is a great idea to keep things “slippy”. Do I see the Ridgid TS3650 there? Such a great saw for the price. Shame they quit making it. Question: I notice you have a track saw and used it. But, when it came to the 1/4” plywood you did that on the TS. Seemed like a bit of a sketchy way to do that. Any reason to use the TS instead of the track saw? Thanks for taking the time to make this video! Just saw this pop up in my feed today. :)
The TS3650 is a great saw. It's since moved on from my shop, but a friend of mine now has it. My only complaint was the location of the splitter's mount in the back. As far as the plywood on the table saw...I have no idea why I did it that way. 😂
No, in going back to refresh my memory, it is because of the repeatability. I was making drawer boxes, and I always find it a lot faster and more accurate to make multiple same-size cuts on the table saw.
do you have any suggestions on how to keep the Rigid tablesaw fence square to the blade? My fence can be completely toed in or out everytime I lock it down.
Do you have the 3650? That’s the one in the video and it never gave me any issues. It has a little plastic piece at the back end of the fence (the outfeed side) that holds the back end and the front end always clamped square. I’ve heard that the one that came after it (the R4512 I think) had some issues. This forum seems to have a fix though, if that’s the one you have: www.lumberjocks.com/threads/fix-for-ridgid-r4512-table-saw-fence.58544/
Thanks for the link. I hadn't seen that solution before, I've seen lots of others that are hit and miss.@@windfirewoodwork
Bold of you to assume your channel will still be a manageable size that you're still reading all the comments in 3 years 🎇😏🍸🎇
☺️ Thanks 🙏🏻 I appreciate that!
Fun fact: Two 1x6 glued/nailed in an L are stiffer than two 2x4's glued together.
Good thing to know!
I'm not so sure...
I liked and subscribed. BUT NOT BECAUSE YOU ASKED. You're not the boss of me. AND NO BELL ICON. No!
But the real question is how smug were you that you had most of the wood? What was the oldest piece you had that you'd been saving "just in case it comes in handy"?
Haha, that’s great!
I didn’t have anything I’d been holding onto just in case for this one. It was all leftovers from my garage build and some plywood I’d bought back when I found some on sale.
Thanks for watching, liking, commenting, AND subscribing! You ROCK!
Niiiiice!!🎉🎉🎉
Thank you!
I like the make sawdust not excuses.
Thank you! Sometimes I need the reminder to get out into the shop. It’s always great to be out there, but I often have to push myself to get off the couch. Cheers!
Nothing wrong at all with the way you did it. Covers a multitude of sins and looks like it will be around through several saw upgrades.
Only thing I take issue with it the useless blade guard. - You do know they are only designed to keep from putting a board on top of the blade and have it launch back. - A spliter is one thing "Guard is a whole 'nother ballgame.
Thank you 🙏🏻
I like using a blade guard as often as possible. It may not be foolproof, but anything I can put between me and a blade spinning 4500rpm feels good. It also helps cut down on the sawdust blowing right back into my face.
Agree about the sawdust. 'Time to slow down and set up correctly' (that's the speech to myself before I start).@@windfirewoodwork
Subbed
Right on!
Who has that much spare space?
You can always make the table smaller and mobile, if needed. In my previous shop I had my workbench in behind the table saw to act as outfeed support, which worked decently well too.
Go Mariners!
Haha, I always feel like a bad Canadian rooting for the Mariners, but being a West Coast boy, they’ve always been my team! 🙂
There is nothing wrong with self promotion. It's how we get jobs, wives, husbands and everything else in life. You want a like an a subscription to build your channel up. You got one more.
I love how you have Bible verses at the end of your video's. God bless all your family.
Thank you! God bless you and yours too! 😊
I really like your video, but I have to comment on the 'don't forget to like and subscribe'. Because anyone who's ever seen a UA-cam video already knows how to click like, and subscribe if they find the channel interesting. It's like asking someone to not forget their car keys before they drive to work. Isn't it that obvious? But again, thanks. I especially liked the Formica part, because I haven't worked with that yet.
For sure. It’s one of those annoying things that all the UA-cam best practices say you need to do…but everyone hates people doing. 😂
Thanks for watching and commenting!

Thanks for watching to the end 😊
Of course, if I like what I see, I always give a like and if the youtuber shows several nice things I might even subscribe. But I never, as in never, do so just because the youtuber asks or begs for it. That might even make me go opposite. You get a like if I like it. Im a grown up, dont treat me like Im stupid and wouldnt think of it. Well…. you asked! 😉
Fair point! 😀
Like, subscribe, etc
😃
I dont understand the title of your video. Is someting supposed to be unique?
The front part of the table is hinged to allow access to the back of the motor. I’ve never seen an outfeed table that does so.
Very obnoxious ;)
Thanks for watching!
