I'm just getting back into woodworking after being away from it for over 30 years. I recently purchased a table saw and struggled slightly when cross cutting or ripping 8' boards for my projects. So I've been searching around for extension wings to buy...and then I found your channel! Wow! I have to say, wow! What an absolutely brilliant idea you came up with Sir. There are other folding table builds that I've seen for a table saw, but this one is incredibly smart and easy. I'll build it this weekend for my table saw, as both an extension wing AND an outfeed table. Then I can get back to my projects with extra safety and ease. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
@@BitnerBuilt Well, that didn't go according to plan. I purchased the folding table and started this build yesterday. Unfortunately my table saw is mounted on a metal table with 44 inches from the table top to the floor. The legs of the folding table that I bought at home depot are about 11 inches too short. Additionally, the hardware for the legs is now different - 4 screws instead of six, and mounted to the side edge of the table and not the top. So I would need to drill holes through the metal legs to get it to fit the other way. Of course the biggest issue is the length of the legs. I'll have to keep looking for ones with more height.
I may just have to go with folding brackets instead of legs. Just not sure if that's a good idea for support or not. I'm not even sure how to get it attached to the table saw frame for my 10" Warrior table saw from Harbor Freight
Awesome idea! I just purchased the small lifetime folding table from Home Depot. Got it home and realized they’re not holes their slots for the adjusting mechanism. So just be mindful, not the end of the world, but certainly not as versatile as drilling a hole where you want it for adjustability.
This is something I need. Thanks for doing this video. I have just found this site and will subscribe to see just what you do...About the bolts being flush. I have built some things for myself where the mounting bolts were not as flush as I would want. I then drilled out the bolt head dimple in the "table" part and walla, it worked fine. Just a fix for a potential problem. I really like this project...
Glad I found your channel. Keep it up, and good luck with your growth. Doing a great job connecting with a beginner/intermediate woodworker now that I’ve watched a number of your videos.
Nice build and explanation for finer details. I made an outfeed wing for my sawstop few months ago. I ended up using piano hinge as well. Premade legs would have sped up process. I used melamine mdf 1/8 inch to cover 3/4 inch ply. The melamine is sllick. If melamine gets beat up I can replace quickly
I have the T2 version of the Delta table saw you have. Overall, especially considering the price, I really like it. I did replace the two piece rails, which I think you did also, with a one piece. I also made walnut side tables because my steel ones were VERY concave. Anyway, nice video, keep up the good work.
We have one of those tables... Now I'm wondering if my wife would notice it missing. Also I wonder how the plastic table top might work as the out feed table instead of plywood. Maybe it's not flat enough?
Haha I have no idea where the table went honey! Maybe your sister nabbed it? 🤣 well I think it would work, my thoughts why I swapped to wood was the piano hinge, I figured the plastic would give and tear out over time or maybe begin to sag since there would be 1/2 of the weight, pressure on that hinge
@@BitnerBuilt piano hinge definitely works well in the plywood. I only have a small portable table saw so now I'm trying to figure out a portable out feed table to go with it. This video gave me some good ideas. Well done explanations of everything, by the way.
@@michaelchyles I actually went to college for filmmaking, and have been making small films all through high school, but then it ended up going into several other businesses that were unrelated that I started. So it’s actually really fun to be able to pair my old passion with my new passion, and making these videos!
I have a Jet 10" saw and would like to use this idea to extend my table as well. I don’t have 3 holes already drilled in the end of the top like yours and it is a cast iron top so I don’t think I’ll be drilling any holes in it. Any alternative ideas on how to attached it?
Could you build a U shaped wooden end that goes under the cast iron top, then underneath it you could mount nuts into the wood and send bolts through to “clamp” it to the top?
Haven’t tried but of course any mountable legs will work. I ended up using both sets of legs (yes top was waste) made a French cleat mounted folding cleaning station for my in laws
Adding an extension wing is primarily just to support material that would be otherwise overhanging on the tablesaw. There’s a lot of times that I pull it out just because I’m trimming something that’s larger and I want to support it, other than cutting sheet goods more space when you need it is never a bad thing!
I have a video request that I think can do a lot of good. Its a challenge type request that I specifically searched out a small channel to issue to and disclaimer, it obviously it pertains a lot to my current goals. Design and build a chicken coop (and run hopefully) that any non-carpenter and very poor person could accomplish building. Parameters: 10 chickens? 8? Only one piece plywood Unlimited salvaged pallets Hammer Sawsall Salvaged nails or deck screws 4x4s allowed if salvaged, many people don't know but "dunnage" is actually easy to source and free 50' hardware cloth Bonus points if movable.
So let me think on this one, it’s not a grab stuff you have and go but I would have to source items! I also have a schedule for my next 20 vids so I’d have to look after that, very interesting tho!
😂 I actually used it with a French cleat mount to make a folding wall table station at my father-in-law’s house so there’s always a couple fun things you could make with it
@@BitnerBuilt excellent idea for use of that space. you need to make a video about those drawers you made under that saw. I have started the same project and am winging it.

Yep happened to work perfectly for me but yes you might need to drill
Brilliant! Thanks for the adjustable leg tip.
Happy to help!
Thanks for the video... built it yesterday!
Oh great enjoy it!
Very cool shop. Look forward to more from your channel.
Thanks a lot Daniel!

@@charlespatt One of those height-adjustable roller stands might be the way to go in your case.
Really great video, I bought the table, not sure I’m going to do this, but I like the idea to create some nice tops for the frames.
Thanks! Yea it’s super handy!
As I watch your videos today your subscribers count is going up like a thermometer 😆
😁 I support this phenomena. Thanks for watching Jesse!
The edits look like you’ve been creating content for years

Very late to the party here. Great video! Where did you source the legs from?
thanks!
home depot smaller folding table
Nice and simple, but one question would legs from Rockler or some other source work as well without buying a table that’s essentially waste?
Haven’t tried but of course any mountable legs will work. I ended up using both sets of legs (yes top was waste) made a French cleat mounted folding cleaning station for my in laws
I thought using the table legs was a great idea. Im going to see if I can adapt that to my saw.
I really do like it, just used it 10min ago 👍
If I don't use my table saw to cut sheet material, is there any reason why I should have or need extensioin wings?

There’s a lot of times that I pull it out just because I’m trimming something that’s larger and I want to support it, other than cutting sheet goods more space when you need it is never a bad thing!

You are going to get me into SO MUCH trouble with the home finance manager..... 🤔
Hahaha well this one’s not a bank breaker so maybe just a light warning from the finance dept!

Design and build a chicken coop (and run hopefully) that any non-carpenter and very poor person could accomplish building.
Parameters: 10 chickens? 8?
Only one piece plywood
Unlimited salvaged pallets
Hammer
Sawsall
Salvaged nails or deck screws
4x4s allowed if salvaged, many people don't know but "dunnage" is actually easy to source and free
50' hardware cloth
Bonus points if movable.
So let me think on this one, it’s not a grab stuff you have and go but I would have to source items! I also have a schedule for my next 20 vids so I’d have to look after that, very interesting tho!
@@BitnerBuilt if it’s unique enough maybe everyone with call it a “Bitner Coop” idk lol
@@scotttaylor4219 hahaha ok let me try and come up with something and I’ll get back to you. If I can figure out something cool I’ll def do it
Care to sell me the other end of that leg assembly?
😂 I actually used it with a French cleat mount to make a folding wall table station at my father-in-law’s house so there’s always a couple fun things you could make with it
