Storage solution: outfeed table & CC sled

[johnpipe108]

For quite a while, my outfeed table and cross-cut sled have been taking up floor space when not in use (which is most of the time ); I finally realized one day that if I added some simple sockets to the underside of the outfeed table, I could store it off the floor in place of a missing top shelf on a plastic shelf-unit. I cut appropriate sized holes in a strip of pine, cut it in four pieces and screwed them to the underside of the table top. The cross-cut sled shares this new "storage shelf":



The sled and table are from the plans in "The Complete Table Saw Book"; the sled has a new cutting-fence which has not yet been trimmed to its finished profile, nor has the blade-rear-guard been installed.

Nice - saving space is always good.

Sounds like a neat set up. Do you have other pics to show more perspective?

By the way, your brace looks like it would hurt if you try putting any pressure on it!

That brace on the wall has been wating for years (decades, maybe!) for me to get ambitious enough to make a proper end-piece (the last time I used it, the "handle" was an old hollow metal door knob); since I haven't used it in years, it's going to continue to wait, unless I find someone who want's a rusty "fixer-upper"!

Youse asked for more perspective, you got it!




Sorry for the focus, my digital camera is just never co-operating! Wish these things had real manual focus!

BTW, the sign is a little hard to read in the photo, it says "A Creative Mess is Better Than Tidy Idleness"
