Table Saw Outfeed Table

I started this project a couple months ago, before my back problems started. Now that things are better and I have time off from work, I finished up a few of the minor details on this project. The pictures I took during the building of the Outfeed Table have vanished, so here are some pictures of the finial results.

The Outfeed Table is made from Baltic Birch plywood. One 5′x5′ sheet was plenty for this project. The main are of the top is 30″ x 48″. I bolted the section on the saw using (6) 3/8″ bolts. That section is very sold, I think I could sit on it without any problems. Although, I didn’t test that fact!

The center adjustable support leg, worked out really well too. I wanted something adjustable, simple and effective. The support has a large magnet attached to it, which contacts with the center hinge and holds it in place for storage. I used some standard door hinges on the table. I might not have needed something this “beefy”, but I had these lying around. They do make taking the top off pretty easy.

I applied a couple coats of Danish Oil to the surface. After that dried, I applied a coat of wax. I think this should be a decent finish for this Outfeed Table. I’ll apply new coats of wax as needed.

Now that this project is done, I have a couple other projects that are near completion. I need to wrap these project up before I move on the next project, which will most likely be some Greene and Greene furniture for our library. I need to put those Darrell Perart classes to use!
