Table Saw Workbench with Extension Wing, Built-in Outfeed Table and Storage
Table Saw Workbench with Extension Wing, Built-in Outfeed Table and Storage
I built a workbench around my table saw to replace an old wobbly stand. Now I have an outfeed table, an extension wing (extension shelf) and lots of storage. You’ll see all the iterations in the design and how it ultimately came out.

you got my like whit the flame table saw jump! but thanks youre video is full of possible mistake i could do this weekend haha!
Thank you so much for this video. It is the most accurate video to what I’m experiencing, it gives me hope that i’ll be able to finish my table.
I just found your video. I’ve watched a zillion workbench videos trying to identify all the mistakes I can’t afford to make. Your video is the best one I’ve found as it helped me identify things to watch out for. Thanks very much for your approach. I hope you make a lot more.
This is basically my experience, lol. Appreciate the honesty. Nice table, too!
Nice build with the extension side table..Fits real nice…Oh, I made a lot of mistrakes when I first started out..
Thank you! I’m iterating a new workbench myself.
I’ve built a similar table saw bench, and did the exact same thing with blocks to keep the saw in place, however I have also put a couple of screws in the front two holes on the saw frame just to be double sure it won’t move 👍🏼
The router kicked back because you were moving it in the wrong direction.
I love that you showed your mistakes, and all your iterations you made to overcome those challenges! Funny and informative. 10/10.
Nice job! The first honest woodworking “how to” video available in youtube. Showing your mistakes and lessons learned are a great help to others beginners!
Do you have the plans for this you can share?
Brilliant. Subscribed.
Let me just start by saying I’m pretty damn handy. I’ve gutted and remodeled every room in two houses. BUT… woodworking and I have a love / hate relationship. I really DIG how REAL you are in your videos! None of this, "INCREDIBLY EASY four poster bed project," done by a guy with a dozen years of wood-working experience and $250K worth of tools, in a 3,500 sqft workshop. Wood fights back… It doesn’t "go together" as easy as those guys make it seem to. You’re honest and show what ACTUALLY happens. But, most importantly, you persevere, figure it out, and show us how you did it. Great job!
Really enjoy you mistakes;)
Your are so funny! I so want to be like Burbonmoth, or some of the other youtueb woodworkers; but I actually build like you. Thank you for the fun journey and keeping it real. I’m also starting a jobsite workbench (mine is the hitachi) so thank you.

Stumbled upon your video as I am a budding "woodworker" and I am 93% sure that I am becoming a fan of yours. I too have been "iterating" as I create and it is great to learn from others through my eye holes. What’s your next project?
Explaining your mistakes and how to fix them is so helpful! Nothing ever goes perfectly and this video has the solutions to a lot of problems too.
You could have edited out your mistakes but that is part of your uniqueness. You are real, and honest most ppl who watch these videos make tons of mistakes I know I do that’s part of the fun tho. You did a great job on your workbench. I don’t know why but I have to learn how to do this my way. I truly enjoyed your video so now you have 4 subscribers, Thanks!
Love your video, it put a smile on my face. I know the root cause of your router problem. The router is possessed by the Devil. If you take it to your local priest he will perform an Exorcism after which it should work just fine 😂
This is the best out feed table I’ve ever seen. I like the honesty in your projects. Keep up the great work. I just subscribed.
Just found this epic channel great video sir you are a legend 💪 much love from the UK
Nice table. Exactly what I am looking for. Do you have the Fusion 360 design available?
Thanks for the really honest and humorous video – budding wood workers like me can really learn from it!
Thanks for your video! I like when woodworkers talk about their mistakes and how they fixed them. Forgive me if you already know this, but when using the router bit it’s recommended to remove material 1/8" at a time. That’s probably why your router bit fell out the second time. It also makes a cleaner cut. I think I have the same table saw. I hope to make a table just like this.
I feel seen! :-p This is great, thank you. I’m going to take lessons from this for my own build shortly. Subscribed!
Lol
I feel you pain .
Good video
Fed…my new fav!
Brilliant. You should be proud of yourself. This is one of the most educational video i have ever seen.
Thank you for sharing your workbench build along with the lessons learned. I love the narrating and comic relief. Stay safe friend!
Fed, your candor is refreshing and entertaining! Keep up the hard work. Look forward to more videos!
I just found your videos, they are good and funny, you just got a subscriber!
Just saw your page and this is the first video of yours I watched. Congratulations on your shop and getting into woodworking. Honestly I was cringing watching you cut those wide pieces like that. You should use a circular saw and straight edge to get them to more manageable sizes before running through your table saw. It would be a whole lot safer. Jay Bates has a video about it. And watch Stumpy Nubs YouTube video about table saw kickback. Best of luck on your woodworking journey
I’m getting into woodworking and found this video because I desperately need to get my table saw off the floor. I learned a lot more from this video through your walking through your mistakes than I anticipated. Thanks a ton! I’m going to watch more of these.
You never showed the final product. Nice job but you need that money shot at the end of your video.
First five minutes of video… you won a new subscriber….
Love the furniture levelers idea, have they held up well over time?
It’s actually really relieving watching fellow woodworkers make plenty of mistakes during their projects. I was over here beating myself up over issues on my first ever project making a jukebox out of birch and thought I was the dumbest or worst wood working alive.
You had me at "If you’re one of my three subscribers…" LOL Subbed!
Great video. Love your honesty. Personally I usually make 6-8 visits to the big box store for every project. One idea I had in addition to your folding side extension is a folding infeed extension for when you are using a sled. I am going to be building my own table shortly, and I plan on incorporating that into my plan.
And confirmed that by eyeballing it. I love this guy
May I make a suggestion; Watch more & BETTER videos on to build a project. You did more work than needed. You did well, but your carelessness with the router could have cost you more than a bad edge. You’ll learn, we all had to. Keep going & enjoy yourself.
Thanks for an honest video that shows all the steps as well as the mistakes. As another poster mentioned most woodworking videos are made by guys with many years of experience and more/better tools than I’ll ever have. These guys also sort of assume you know what they are doing and don’t fully explain the procedure. Great video. The humor makes it fun.
If it’s any consolation you’re way better at woodworking than me! Thanks for this video, I’m currently researching a table like this for the same saw and I like what you did with the furniture leveling legs and the folding extension table. Good work!
Fucking hilarious- this is the best, cause this is what’s happening in ever garage across America as we all learn the struggles of woodworking.
Just discovered your video, cool. I like that you show mistakes and opportunities along the process. new to woodworking , I’ve learned a lot from you. Thank you for making this video.
Any plans for this?
I really enjoyed watching this video, you’ve done an epic job of telling the story about this build, which for me supersedes the design and build itself. I’ll be sure to learn some of the lessons shown, and will definitely be ready to iterate any design flaws I’ll inevitably make. Cheers from NZ!
Lol
I feel you pain .
Good video
Do you by chance have the plans you created? Would really like to iterate a few items…
