Hi Folks,
I just wanted to introduce myself. I just found the Creek last week and figured I’d get my feet wet. I have a small woodshop in Southeastern Connecticut, been making sawdust for about 30 years as a hobby and a business. I’m a systems engineer for the Navy and have a horse farm where we board horses , my wife teaches and you guessed it I get to be the sanitation engineer. When I’m not shovelin it I spend as much time in the shop as I can. Being a Yankee I probably have the first cutoffs from my first project on a shelf somewhere. We just can’t seem to throw anything away.
A few weeks ago I picked up a new Shop Fox Classic Fence with the 7’ rails to upgrade my table saw. I decided that I wanted to do a complete upgrade to the saw and add a new extension table and an out feed table. I started by attaching the new fence to the table and measuring out the extension table. I used poplar for the frame and MDF with a laminate for the top.

I then wanted an out feed table that would fold down to save space in the shop. I found a good design at Jim Becker’s site Sawsndust.com. I attached the fixed portion to the saw. The outer supports are a bit tricky for a contractors saw due to the fact that the motor moves with the trunion. Note to self: Another good reason to get a cabinet saw. With the fixed portion mounted I next added the folding table and some legs. The whole project took about a week and if your looking for a good folding out feed table design this one works great.

My next project is a new shop, A 24’ by 36’ outbuilding. I am hoping to use SIP’s (structural Insulated Panels) for the walls with a scissors truss roof. The panels are lined up now I just need to see about the slab and get everything through the Chief Financial Officer. Should be in by the end of summer.
