- This DIY workbench/outfeed table/assembly table build is thanks to Bespoke Post for sponsoring this video! Head to bspk.me/blacktail and use code BLACKTAIL to learn more and get 20% off your first box.
In this video, I show how I built my giant outfeed table for my table saw. This outfeed table is constructed from a heavy-duty aluminum extrusion kit provided by Framing Tech. The top is a commercial-grade satin black laminate, and I also inlaid my cast iron router table to save space, then added some cool custom vertical mounts for my Festool vacuum clamps.

Another bonus, it would cost you the same to build it out of wood here in 2021
😂😂 well said
Extrusions are worth the cost but they are crazy expensive when you get to these larger profiles. We can all agree that 2x pine framing lumber is out of the question. I would have used 6/4 euro beech. Straight lined and thicknessed at the lumber yard, it would run about $250 for this project. It would be plenty strong and a lot prettier. It would take a good deal longer to assemble of course. But the difference becomes insignificant when you consider the overall time this project must have taken from planning to completion.
Pretty sad when you think about it
@@frankshannon3235 The one advantage of the aluminum is that it would be easy to break down and transport since it's super light. Something to consider. This stuff looks awesome but I'm not ready to drop a grand for a table. At that point you might as well make it out of steel so you have a welding table too!
@DW Palme gotta love a bad economy over mean tweets
I work for Ford Motor Co. We have stations on our transmission assembly line that are nearly 75% extruded aluminum construction. Triangulation is key, plus the actual shape of the aluminum adds strength. Great video. 👍
Beatles.
Great job. My pocket won’t allow such a thing, but I love it.

This is a valuable addition to my woodwork collection czcams.com/users/postUgkxbnOKZBE4evMO5V2vroHeCjq6d_MV6wJO I still will rate this woodwork plan as the best in my reference library. It always seem to stand out from the rest whenever you go through the library. This is a masterpiece.
We use a lot of that 80/20 here at my company and I absolutely love it. I had never thought to use it for a workbench or work table build. What comes to mind is if you get a new miter saw thats a different height you don't have to rebuild the shelf for it, just loosen the fasteners and adjust as needed. Great Idea!
Hey Cam! Just wanted to thank you for all your videos. I've learned so much and actually built my own epoxy table because of your videos. My girlfriend and I successfully built a 4' x 8' river table on our first try. Largely in part because of your videos.
I've never commented so thank you! We appreciate your insight over the years.
That’s really cool to hear Richard
Love the shop build videos. Don’t hesitate to keep them coming! They’re very helpful
Tragically Hip: What an awesome project.
Men at Work. Your tips and product suggestions are very helpful. I would say with your line of videos they make for a complete discussion and presentation of a real working wood shop. I value this approach as should most who do any woodworking as it helps with what I mentioned, suggestions. You also have a huge advantage with space and tools which we know can be a huge part of the battle of producing quality product. I work in my garage with what many could call a mini shop and of course limited tools that come with that but I feel I put out some pretty good stuff considering my limitations.
Sweet Comfort Band - I gotta say, I really appreciate your voice-over approach. All the dialog is easy to hear & understand, as well as packing more pertinent information into the video. I would imagine it's also much easier for you to not worry about audio editing. So win-win!
Garth Brooks, love the shop builds and the project builds, I get tips from both, I think we aspire to have a larger shop, or new tools, and it is great to see what others are using and why. Keep them coming! And thank you for the work that you put in making them! Stay safe.
You too!
RUSH those extrusions to me! I love the workbench and this outfeed table! I also appreciate the way you’re thinking outside the box and making your shop efficient, practical, and sexy (if that’s possible). Keep it comin’!!
Thanks Alan!
Oh man, I love that stuff! I use it all the time at work for brackets, stands, fixtures and stuff. Also used it to make a really nice router sled system for flattening slabs of wood.
I personally got to design this structural framing and it’s so nice to see people still using it. Structural aluminum framing will take thousands of pounds of force it never rusts you can always drill it and it’s incredibly versatile.
The aluminium extrusion looks like it would be perfect for building a router table or router slab flattening jig, versatile stuff! Great build with lots of useful little tips and techniques.
Oh for sure
I was just lookin on their website and they have slab flattening kits already made up
7:58 you can buy liner berrings
I've seen guys make sliding table for tablesaw with this stuff.
Your only limit is what you can think up its like an erector set we played with as kids back in the 60s
I've watched a couple of your videos where you struggle with flipping a large tabletop over.
Have you considered some sort of simple block and tackle system secured to the ceiling? If rigged properly, you could use it to gently and safely raise the slab to verticle, then lower it onto the other side.
You might also need some sort of stops to keep the slab from sliding while being raised or lowered.
We use aluminum extrusion at work all the time for industrial workstations and benches and I've never had a complaint. A lot of companies make this t-slot style assembly. I personally love it. It's also super easy to disassemble and reassemble and its still as stout as it was brand new
Absolutely Jeff
I use this same style framing in an Industrial environment at work but from the 8020 Brand, it's solid stuff but with anything that will be subject to vibration loctite is a must. It's amazing all the different things that can be built with this extruded aluminum.
I like the shop videos, lol I like getting ideas from others! Instead of favorite band, maybe who do you listen to while in the shop?? For me it’s Disturbed lately!
Oh, sam Cooke is good listening
Alice In Chains, getting ready to start on my out feed table/work bench. It’s been great to see different ideas from people as I build my shop also. Thanks for the shop videos!
Thanks Keith!
Journey. I know that this is well over a year, but I do enjoy videos like this since it is slowly giving me ideas and suggestions for things I might want to my own shop one day. Plus, it is nice to see how it grows and you slowly build your shop to your desire. So I work in the aerospace industry, and we have a lot of those extruded aluminum products, and years ago they started having some of the manufacturing desks replaced with desks made of those, and I would like to know how things have turned out for you over the past year+ using it and it holding up. One of our biggest problems is that overtime, the hardware holding things together, such as those angle braces, slowly become undone causing the desks to wobble, and become unstable, and it really frustrates everyone. Hopefully you have not run into similar issues, but I love how your table came out, and looks sharp!
Really Enjoy all of your video's so far. I have watched about 20 so far , 2 or 3 of which with my father who is 80yrs old and had a stroke a few months back. First bit of bonding we have done in 20yrs or more. Your very talented and I'm glad you were here for my circumstances :)
A very warm thank you and love from Scotland.
Journey. Loving how your new shop is turning out.
Third Day is my favorite band... I was yelling at the screen, it's a bird call! A BIRD CALL!! I keep one of those around my neck when I'm out hunting, I use it to talk to the chickadees and nuthatches that drop by while I sit in the woods. :D
That’s hilarious 😂
Yes, Third Day is an awesome band
@@cdnbaconeh7321 Wooo! I got to see them in June of 2018 during their farewell tour. What a blessing!
CCR, I totally like the fact that you include some of your shop upgrades in between your projects. Keep up the good work👍
impossible to pick a favorite band, cause of the amount of music I listen to. but if you give me a place in US will name one.
its just amazing to see the level of customization and the quality and design in tools. I can only dream of this level of work and workshop prep. this is all high-end stuff.
YES - You need a shirt with "I put hot sauce on my Habanero🔥"
I laugh, my shop is maybe twice as big as your outfeed table. I joke that I have to make whatever was originally on my mind because there isn't any room to change my mind.
That’s funny!
I have a friend that has a T shirt that says he puts sriracha on his sriracha.
👍 for YES
@@dandyeh sriracha barely qualifies as hot sauce.
Journey - Loved the idea of the extruded aluminum table. I've been working with EA for almost 15 years and always wondsred why more people didn't take advantage of its rigid construction properties. CNC home builders swear by them. Great job. By the way, you might consider picking up an inexpensive Lavalier Microphone. Your on camera voice sounds very "tin-ee" and like your speaking into a can. Again liked the video very much.
I know I know. I actually have an inexpensive one. I need an expensive one.
@@BlacktailStudio
Just get a blue yeti, cheap and pretty decent, may you tubers use them and don't feel the need to upgrade
I've made several tables from extruded aluminum including a router table & planer stand. I was lucky & used it in the shop I used to work for so, FREE!!! Plus, I got the drill & fixture for free too!!
They're really cool & extremely sturdy!!
I love both the shop and regular projects. Infrastructure is a cornerstone.
I love these shop builds , although I'm small time , I hope to soar with the EAGLES. 😃
The Eagles. Long time watcher here, first time commenter. Love all your builds and also enjoy the shop build. I'm currently in the middle of my "ultimate shop build" and really enjoy seeing what other craftsman are doing. I haven't made a resin table yet but there is definitely one in my future. Thanks Can for all you share.
Thanks so much man
Hey Cam, I really enjoy watching all your videos and have learned a lot over the last year. I did an epoxy river table last year following literally all your advice and skills. Literally all. I use the same epoxy, dry black walnut wood, the same techniques and finishes. Long story short, the girl i did this table for texted me yesterday and the epoxy had cracked across and is separating from the wood in a few spots. This pour was done back in July of last year, and cured for about 2 months before attaching a frame and legs to it and finishing it. the wood was sealed with shellac and roughed up and cleaned before the pour. the table was about 1.5" thick and i did it in 2 different pours as suggested. i monitored the temp for the first few days and had a fan on it and the mold was raised up to allow air flow under, just like i've seen you do in many videos. The temp never exceeded 105 degrees. Even so, the finished product came out great and it has been 6 months since the pour. Im confused why now it cracked and its having problems as opposed to back then. Also i am looking for advice on how to fix it and not have a repeat. I would love to know if you can point me in the right direction. Thank you and keep up the great work.
If you sealed the sides with shellac, that’s why. The shellac repels the epoxy.
@@BlacktailStudio Thank you very much, for some reason i thought 1 of your videos said that was ok to use, maybe it was another video i saw, appriciated.
Very cool! I am currently using 1010 extrusion for an argentinian grill surround, truck cap platform and track cap roof rack. So fun to mess with!!
Snarky Puppy, hands down.
I was a wood worker for many years. I am now retired and cant do a lot, but I enjoy watching you use all these new tools and make those awesome tables. If only, I was 20 yrs younger and had seen your videos then, boy oh boy would I have jumped on that train lloll. No way I could do what you do now but then again I enjoy watching what you do. Keep up the good work and good luck. I have give you plenty of likes and I am a subscriber.
I love the Gray Havens. Thanks for sharing this table! Looks great and helps me with a gaming table I’m thinking of making!
Too expensive
No it’s modular. Awesome for changing your shop later.
@@duncanish44tslot sags after some time
I really love going backwards in your videos. Just love all of them, thanks so much. I wish I had the space and money to do some woodworking myself because I have some idea but alas, I must wait for the future. But I appreciate the inspiration nonetheless.
i really like the concept of aluminum extrusion. Im looking to make more adaptations to my small shop to accommodate with studio parts.
Glenn Miller...
Nice to have ALL the right tools.
Thanks for the tips!
Moody Blues. We moved into a condo pre-retirement and I really miss doing doing projects in my garage (we have no garage). Thanks for what you do. Love all you videos.
You just answered my prayers, I am going to build a homemade Cnc router and I was going to build from wood but did not want the weight this will fit the Bill much better
Dave Mathews Band of course! Dave has all the right words.
Great content Cam.
What an awesome table. Thank you BTS.
To be perfectly honest with you, the reason I keep coming back to your channel is the honesty. That’s not to say other channels aren’t honest, I just like “warts and all” honesty.
Traffic, Low Spark of High Heeled Boys - Thank you for the video. Love the extruded aluminum for the outfield/router table. I am going to look into that one.
Oh awesome
My aquarium stand is made out of 8020. I’m glad more people are getting into it. My stand holds about 1500 lbs and there is no noticeable deflection
I love those extrusions. I'd like a crossmember at the bottom though and plywood dividers and then you'd have plenty of storage with drawers.
Matchbox 20…another great video! That is on badass table! I followed your mitre station video and went with the aluminum extrusion! I love it!
Thanks and keep’em coming!
Dire Straits. Cool shop table! Great that you can attach so many things to those aluminum channels. i enjoy your videos regardless of furniture making or shop builds. Always very interesting. Thank you!
Favorite band at this moment? Too Many Zoos. The possibilities are endless with that extrusion supplier. I’m already seeing a collapsible out feed table for my jobsight table saw and other strong/light weight modular items. I love to see work flow setups. Keep the set up footage flowing!
Kaleo. Love your work. I'm currently rearranging my workshop. I built my own CNC late last year but finding the tSlot here in Australia was very difficult. But after watching this I may have to try again. Always great work, cheers for the content.
Thanks Glenn!
Zach Brown Band - I can't speak for everyone, but I equally enjoy the shop transformation videos. I am always looking up ways to maximize efficiency and seeing you implement different ideas really helps!
That’s awesome to hear shade
Marshal Tucker - Great idea. Excellent choice for an out feed table
both types of vids are good in my mind Thank you
Usually after dinner I sit and watch some of your videos. My 9 year old son was watching with me and said 'I don't know why but this is satisfying'. Keep doing what you do and keep talking 🙂
Damn, that turned out awesome! I dig your choice of tools. The festool devices are fantastic. I just have a domino, but would love one of the Rotex, and one of their dust extractors. Those vacuum clamps look like they work great, though I agree, they're a bit of a luxury.
Tool! Wish I had seen this two weeks ago; I just built my new work table in my new to me garage. Although functional, it’s not nearly as modular. I really like the t nuts, it reminds of setting up parts on the bed milling machine.
Oh for sure
Boston. I love your workshop build videos, don't stop. The build videos will come. I also love your narration over the build much easier to hear.
Thanks Cary!
Strung Out. This was a really helpful and useful video, especially for folks like myself that have little garage shops and might need something more lightweight and moveable. Thanks, as always, for the great content and sharing of all your knowledge. Keep em coming Cam.
Thanks bud!
Colin Hay. Obscure but the best...oh and I learned a bunch here on this one. I am going to be building a new shop soon so I will watch all of yours for tips. I have an electric table using the 8020 and it raises and lowers 3 feet I believe. Great stuff
Theres a really neat trick/extra function you can add to these 8020 extrusions that I have not seen on any MFT builds as yet. Its a very handy feature for any woodworking shop.
Really liked this project.
Queen, the shop is coming together nicely. Great use of space. Love the look of the mat black.
Great band!!
A/C DC and I used 8020 stuff to build a 4 X 4 CNC machine. Love the stuff !!
I don't really have a favorite band but more a lover of many genre of music of my childhood. Glam rock, late 80's/ 90's hip hop and just all country music. I have no question but loving the content even a year later.
you are not only a very good carpenter and entertaining to listen to,,,,you are good at assembly with the equipment,,,,merry Christmas
no favorite band. Great job. A friend of mine built a rolling utility cart from similar aluminum extrusion material.
I understand what it's like to set all this up so have fun with it it can be fun and satisfying
The Police! Really impressive setup. I'm using an old desk I got from Goodwill and cut t-slots into for sleds. It's "propped" up on blocks to match the saw height. I told myself I'd build a proper outfeed table when I got the table levelled. that was 3 years ago!
Now it’s time!
ELO, among others. I'm officially jealous of your shop. Its been fun watching you assemble the work spaces. I'm looking at putting a 4x8 foot table in my shop. So far, everything is on wheels due to space constraints, so the new table will be as well. This year, after several rough starts, I'm hoping to start building custom wood creations from the large supply of local timber.
Amazing band
In this moment, those aluminium tables are impressive and can hold a lot of weight I love it!
Very versatile and handy.
Everyone should have one.
Thanks Dennis!
Architects. Love these videos man! Glad I found this chanel.
With the insane cost of wood (yesterday priced a 2 x 4 x 8ft at HD for $31) metal makes more sense. My 2 x 4 outfeed table is ready for the firewood pile. Getting ready to build a new 16 x 20ft shop, will be framing with metal...will then be building new tables with 80/20. Great video...love the idea of just sending the dimensions to Frametech and let them package everything...definetely worth not having to figure out all the hardware, cut lengths and bits and pieces..THKX!
AC/DC, I love these videos too. You always do a great job breaking down all the information. Wish I was as comfortable speaking in my videos are you are.
Edit is key! Just keep doing takes.
Queen. Great workshop
Shinedown - I appreciate that you use the aluminum. I actually just started to use extruded aluminum in some of my shop furniture as well.
Oh awesome
Rush & I’m loving the shop build videos.
AC/DC and the frame is amazing!
Great band!
I like the shop built, keep them comming
Allman Brothers. These workspace videos are great, your build vids are always good but having the right workspace makes a huge difference, it's good to see other people's ideas on workspace organization
Foo Fighters! Neat way to include your routing table with your work bench. I was going to try something like that on a much smaller scale in my work shed. Keep up the great work!
I subscribed because of this video, I am a disabled Veteran HOPING to learn to make wood crafts on a CNC and eventually a Laser Engraver, I was researching options to make as easy, sturdy, and flat a 5'x5' table as possible for a Onefinity CNC I will have to start with a heavy 2x4 table but I will save for an extruded aluminum one soon as I can.
Earth Wind and Fire
Awesome workshop
Great video, great outfeed table, and that seems a good price for Ally and as you say quick to assemble. Cheers
JFA, your out feed table is that of legends. Thanks for the link to the supplier.
Def Leppard Love that extrusion table. What a timesaver over building something from scratch. Thanks for all the great vids!
For sure Ryan!
Tool is my favorite band...I love the shop video's just as much. I'm working on my shop so its a big help. Thank you!
Damn, I forgot Tool in my list. Great band and Def one of my favorites
Great band!
Aluminum extrusions are the go to material for sim racing rigs. When I first started planning mine a few years ago I was shocked by all the secondary bits and pieces that were available...literally hundreds of pages of hinges, slides, mounts, and widgets that can be attached in under a minute using a simple t-nut.
The
CCR, build and shop videos. Both are great. Table is amazing, love the vacuum clamps.
Great band
"The Blue Nile" again a fantastic project and build. Watching you with the 120lb slab and NO safety shoes on made a little queasy Cam. Brilliant from Bonny Scotland.
Boston! The shop updates are also good to see. Like you said, it gives us ideas to for our shops too.
Great band!
Those special bolts look like they're based on a coffin bolt concept. Incredibly easy execution in a great build.
Very nice piece of design
The construction of the workbench is too cool
Tool hands down is my favorite band 🤘🤘🏾🤘🤘🏾great video
Level 42 - I can see tons of uses for that aluminum extrusion - but that huge outfeed table is just about a perfect project. I might use it for my torsion box assembly table base.
For sure Kurt
First time i am seeing the inlay concept starting at 4:00. that is actually pretty hard to conceptualize and accomplish without those matched flush trim bits and the bushings. I and a lot of people will use a rabbiting bit to reduce the original template, then try to squeeze a drill bit into the final piece to create a hole for another round of flush trimming. usually there is some kind of flaw at that starting point with the drilled hole.
👍 good stuff, wish I would have seen this a couple months ago when I was making molds for fiberglass boat hatches and receivers..
Mumford and Sons, love how the shops coming along.
What would be really cool is if you shared your build sheet with us. It would help us who are exploring this option to understand the dimensional components of your build. Like what are the top vs leg dimensions, etc. Thanks and I am guessing Pearl Jam as a band!
