Table Saw Extension for my Small Shop

Looks well done. Good job.

-- Nature created it, I just assemble it.

This is something on my long list of things to do….right after I finish the next project….or the next one

Don, that’s exactly how I approached this project. Finally, I just spent an afternoon to get the actual table done, and only just finished the slots for the “T Square” yesterday (after about a month). It’s one of those projects that I can’t believe I did without for so long…

Very good idea and a nice build.

How did you attach it to the saw?

Nice job! I built one just like it with white melamine a couple years ago. I now regret the melamine should have used a formica top.

^ that is what I was wondering. How did you attach it to the saw?

I used pocket holes to attach a scrap piece to the wood extension on the right of the blade, then screwed my rails to that piece. I hope the picture helps…

My saw has a full length piece of angle iron along the back. Made for an easy install.

Looks good Bob. How is it supported? Is there some sort of stand underneath when it’s up?

Great work!

Good Job, two questions:

1. How is it supported?

2. What is behind it in the second picture- looks like a big project

Answers to PaulHWood:

1. It’s supported by two 2×2’s in the corners, that tuck nicely under the folded table when it’s down.

2. It’s a bed for my girls. I hope to have it finished in the next few days and send it off for paint. I’ll post pictures when it’s done. :-)
