While I’m sitting here waiting on my 7 ft rails to come in for my table saw, I decided to go ahead and come up with some type of outfeed table today. I’m going to really need good outfeed support for the cabinet job I’m getting ready to start. The old workmates with home made rollers mounted to them are getting old…I did a little looking around and remembered an episode of The Wood Whisperer where he built a new outfeed table due to changing his rail/fence system. It looked like it would suit me well and would be quick to make. Out to the shop I went. I didn’t use the walnut veneer plywood like he had lying around…I just used plain old pine plywood, but I think it turned out well. It is sturdy and should provide a lot of service. It only took about 4 hours from start to finish and I can’t believe I haven’t made one before, but I guess it’s better late than never.
It looks like it will be Tuesday before my new rails arrive as well as the new Osborne Miter Gauge I ordered, so I think I’ll make a panel sled tomorrow and possibly get started on the cabinets by making the smaller stack that goes above the refrigerator. I’ll post some progress pics as I go along.
