  3. Fold-down Outfeed Table

    You know the old saying … necessity is the mother of invention (around my shop, Mom gets a pretty good work-out). We all know the safety and convenience of an outfeed table. Add to that, in decent weather, I roll the tools out on the driveway where the light is better and cleanup is a lot...

    I remember years ago, I read that box store 3/4" plywood was not actually 3/4" or 0.750", but more 45/64th or 18mil 0.703". I use SketchUp to create things just to see what the end result kinda looks like. For some mystical old man reason, I've been inputting 3/4" and not 45/64th and noticed...
