Welp, as most of you know I got a new TS a few weeks ago. I finally got
around to making an outfeed table for it. It is kind of big, but it serves
several purposes. It will be an outfeed table for my table saw, planer and
my old contractors table saw.
Now it is time to start on a 'real' project. Maybe next weekend...

I mill stock, using a jointer and planer and I make myself a bit of an
inventory either for one project, or for a few projects.
Then I put all that gear aside, and get to work and I won't see that
planer/joiner stuff until a month later again... I refer to it as
batch processing.
We all work differently, I guess.

You will soon find that large outfeed table has many benefits. Depending
on where it is relative to your lumber or sheet good storage, a surface
like that is handy for sorting lumber for those real projects.

SFWIW, built a 4x8 outfeed table with drawers underneath that were
accessible from the sides.
24 on each side, 48 total.
Provided a way to hide a lot of crap or useful stuff depending on how you
like at it.
Left it in place when moving time arrived.

My tablesaw gives me better results than that. I seldom need a
jointer.
Only when I am making doors do I find a jointer convenient.

Ah, yes. Is there a single woodworker who's breaker panel door isn't
open right now?
Nice setup. I wish I had that much room. Of course, if I had that much
room I wouldn't have a brew pub 300 yards away. So, I guess I don't
wish I had that much room...

Not the case in my shop. But I start everything from rough wood.
Rough cross cut, rough edge joint, pre rip, face joint, plane, finish
edge joint, finish rip.....I'd wear out the wheels on that jointer
moving it about.

No, I don't own it! - it's around the corner. Although my friends and
I are putting somebody's kids through college...
In order to get a larger shop, I'd have to move out to the suburbs and
we don't have brew pubs out there. I have one three hundred yards away
and another one is about a mile away. Both are excellent. We often
go right after tennis and nobody complains that we're in tennis
clothes.

Thanks! It's funny you mentioned a brewpub, because as it turns out, I do
have a one in there. It is really small though. I only do 5 gallon
batches. If you look at my 'woodshop' shot you can just make out my 10g
kettle in the back left of the picture sitting on my burner. All of my 5g
carboys are out of frame. I got into all grain brewing about ten years ago,
but I don't have much time for it any more. My last batch, an imperial
stout) was maybe 4-5 months ago.

Not a bad idea, but I still don't have dust collection (cough, cough!).
Anything I put under the table is going to get covered in sawdust.

I made an outfeed table that folded down for my old contractors. It was a

Thanks. No need to move either. The table saw top is so long that the back
of the miter gauge clears the blade before it taps the outfeed table in the
front.

Yes, and if he plays his cards right, he can put that gorgeous jointer
under a workbench as well. Those kind of machines are seldom used
enough to warrant the waste of space.
The benchtop drill press was a good move though.

Outfeed tables make great 'car ports' for big rolling things like
planers and shopvacs.
Even custom made shelves or stacking wide boxes on casters are very
useful to store things and then just roll under the table.
You'll find a lot of unused cubes under there.
Three quarters of the stuff you have all over your workbench (I looked
at your picture) should up on shelves above the bench.
An Industrial Engineer I worked with was always saying" "UP, UP, UP,
dammit..use your cubes!!"

LOL. You may want to remind him that trees also have trunks and that
you would like of them.But, I have a better picture now and I can
fully understand when you are trying to max out on wood you'd be
visiting the planer/jointer more often. I find I do that too when I
have something special.
But, in my line of work, I buy a couple of hundred BdFt and work it
all into strips which I will use in my countertop production. always
1-17/32 x 25/32. Boring really. Usually oak..blech.

You kidding me? If it touches my table saw fence, it touches my
jointer. I'd say one is used as frequently as the other. (BTW: I'm
going to buy that exact same jointer in the next two weeks. Mine is
old and beat street.)

That's a lot like my "outfeed" table, which is actually a workbench. I
don't have to worry about cutting full sheets of plywood, the "outfeed"
table is 8 feet long and can handle any offcuts I make.

Mine pretty much does everything. I saw that you had it serving as a
planer outfeed as well, which I also do. Most of my large tools are set
at pretty much the same height (except the jointer) and since they're
mostly on rolling stands, they can be moved over if I need extra space.
Plus the fact that you've got tons of space under the table to put in
shelves and drawers and we all know there's no such thing as too much
storage.

Same here. I now have have two main areas.
My "stock prep" area has the wood, my table saw, band saw, and jointer,
allowing me to bounce around like a cook in a kitchen. My planer sits
on my router table at the edge of this area, as they don't conflict in
use. The drum sander is mobile, but uses a DC connection located over
the jointer.
The "assembly and joinery" area has my bench, all hand tools, sharpening
station, a 12" disc sander, drill press, and and shelves and cabinets
containing hand held power tools and things like pocket hole and dowel jigs.
Other stuff, like the router table, mortiser, etc... are less important
as for location, as I tend to spend all the time at a single machine
when I'm using them, as opposed to bouncing around like Frank described.

Nice table...
I bought my PM2000 at the same time you did.
I work in a two car garage and I have no driveway so the two cars are in the
garage every night. That means the casters on my table get a lot of work. I
spent the weekend on a set of four cabinets that will hang on the wall above
the stored tablesaw. Each cabinet has three 6 inch drawers and then two 15
inch shelves at the top.
I'll post some photos soon.
I plan to add a outfeed table, but I'll hinge it so that it folds down and
allows me to push the saw to the wall.

It is one of those deals that after you DO install shelves and other
organization tools, that you slap your forehead and ask yourself why
you didn't do this LONG ago! All it takes is a little time and a few
bucks....oh wait...never mind...

Well the guy I buy my wood from gives me a great price. But the wood
he sells me often presents a significant challenge with regard to
yield. So I process by component, cutting to length by component then
processing. The shorter and more narrow a piece of stock I work with
the better the cleanup thickness. With his wood, just cleaning up
stock to .750" finished in wide, long pieces then pulling off the
pile, is not a luxury that can be expected.
A little more work, but price is about 1/3 other sources I would have
to go to, and he is about a half mile from my house.
I usually approach him with the comment "well I thought I needed a
challenge this week so I'm here for some more of that crappy wood".
His normal response "you people are all the same. Don't you know
trees have limbs? Have you ever seen a tree that doesn't have limbs".

Oh no, you're not finished. Look at all that wasted space beneath the
outfeed and the fence extension tables. Think cabinets, drawers, etc.
and see how much space you can recover in the rest of your shop.
