A few weeks ago, I added the Incra TSIII Fence System to my tablesaw. Unfortunately, my old outfeed table didn't really work with the new system. So its time to build a new one. This isn't your average outfeed table though. Its a full-size work table with a full shelf of storage. Perhaps the best part of all is the fact that it can be made with a modest collection of tools and just a few sheets of plywood. No fancy joinery here! This is what I like to call, a "Can Do" project. Enjoy!
For those who are interested, here are some exact dimensions for you:
Long Stretchers: 62"
Short Stretchers: 38"
Overall Dimensions: 65" L x 39 1/2" D x 33 3/4"H

After seeing European elitism even here in the comments about an outfeed table; I think we US citizens should start trolling the woodworking videos coming out of the UK. See Wacky Turtle's comments for the scope of the shaming I had in mind. Then again, how many woodworking videos are produced from the UK vs how many from the US? Well...trolling one UK video a month won't be too hard.
You subject premise is wrong. Every cabinet saw should have an outfeed table. A table saw needs to have some portable outfeed support, but a table especially the one you describe will reduce the versatility of the table saw. And many shops that use a table saw don't have the room for a large outfeed table. Most garage setups have to move the table saw around, even move it outside a lot. It appears many of the people posting video's about an outfeed table don't understand the difference between a cabinet saw and a table saw is. You, for instance, are using a cabinet saw. If you're going to post videos, get things right. Anytime the word 'all' is used I know the person using it has limited knowledge. I describe videos such as yours as entertainment rather than instructional.
If you don't have a tablesaw you can use....wait, if you don't have a tablesaw why are you building a tablesaw outfeed table?? lol :]
The question should be if you don't have a table saw why are you building a table saw out feed table?
Why would someone need to make a table saw outfeed table if they don't have a table saw?
Or are you still using this assemble.. I mean out feed table?
mmmmm powermatic
The shelf stretcher next to the saw could borrow a term from structural engineering - “upturned beam”. If the stretcher by the saw was installed above the shelf with the shelf “hanging” from the stretcher, you could mount the shelf lower and gain that volume for storage on the shelf.
Hey, no fair! I wanted to see you put in the bottom shelf, after you had put on the top. But, at about 18min, it suddenly appears. Don't put the top on until the bottom shelf?
Kind of a funny point that it's a video about making an out feed table for a table saw and Marc still shows you how to cut the plywood if you don't have a table saw. 😂
Stating your considerations was very helpful. Way more useful than just offering a cookie cutter plan. Thanks!
Thank you so much for this video. I'm just getting started in working and was finding that I needed an outfeed table and I also needed an assembly table to get myself off the ground. I made a 4x4 table with this design and couldn't be happier. you made this so easy to follow.
Thanks for your vids.
I like the way you go into detail about your thought process
I've had the chance to use this table a couple of times now. It's fun to whip out in front of people:) I can see what people are talking about when they say the legs are delicate, but they're design to support a "mostly" vertical load, not be torqued from the side or pushed back into place. If you just let the table open or close on it's own and don't force anything, it works great
Good video. I liked the inclusion of your thought process, showing how a woodworker goes from concept to finish. Sometimes we can over think things when trying to achieve/make something and the insights/tips that you guys explain often take away some of the mental clutter that grows around us when we're a little green. Experience and all that, I suppose. Thanks.
I've been needing an outfeed table and I think I'm going this way. I was going to make one with all these drawers but this looks much simpler and cheaper and quicker,
Marc, you are a great teacher and video demonstrator. Your out feed table is beautiful and practical.
I have been watching shop vids for years, it is so nice to see some one using the incra fence system. I was beginning to think that I was the only one they sold it too, although yours was properly a lot cheaper then mine. A great tool doing a great job.
First time I watched one of your videos, thank you so much for the clarity and simple directions. Hope to build a smaller version in the near future.
