Here are a couple of pics of my new out-feed table base. A friend gave me the wood for this and since my original out-feed table was rather rickety, I decided to make one that wouldn't move. Trust me, it doesn't. I typically overdo things and it kinda shows.:lol: All members except the stretchers are 3 1/4" sq and the stretchers are 2 1/2 x 5". I laminated the stretchers out of some old wood that came from an old water bed. I am still contemplating a top but think it will be 2 layers of MDF and banded with something on 3 sides. It will eventually slide right up to the back of the TS and I am also thinking about mounting a vise ( not the Emmert) on one of the out of the way sides just to have another place to clamp something. I am thinking about putting some type of grid system in the middle and attaching it to the insides of the ends so the middle will have better support. This might be overkill though. Since the shop floors are far from level, I put a lag bolt in the bottom of each foot so I can level the table to the table saw top. Wiped the whole thing down with BLO just to spice it up a bit. Won't fit the top til I decide whether to do the grid thingy. Thoughts??? I probably should have mounted the stretchers higher and lower but hind site is ... well you know the story. I got some practice for when I make my new workbench so all is not lost. Long term, I might make a couple of drawer boxes and put them in the ends / sides for additional storage. Anyway, here tis,
