After 4 years we make some changes to our outfeed table. Was it a good fix though?

It’s nice to see a non tik tok build and back to the reason why I subbed to this channel in the first place. Let’s

Lap joins are surprisingly easy to do. They are strong AF and make assembly easy.

Nice table. Thanks for bringing us along on the build. Suggestion. Put a few magnets on the bottom of the trash bin cutout and on the front of the pullout bin so that lid doesn’t get lost or in the way when working. 😊

Thank you John for sharing your story and build’s with us all! It’s great and when I get a shop, I will build this. Thank you. ONE LOVE TO ALL!

That little offcut waste hole is a great idea!

[TheMonsterGrunt]

Isthis Polla first appearance! I love him in his most recent videos he's been putting out.

This is one of the best and most fun build channel to watch!

[kennethbezanson]

Using a clamp to pull those wedges in seems like a beautiful solution. No need to pound them in which might shift everything else too 😎

The offcut bin idea is brilliant. I'm cutting that into my workbench as soon as I get back to her.

The flipping of the laminate sheet was pretty scary, as someone who works with that material fairly regularly. As you found out its quite sharp...a cracked edge like that will function the same as a razor blade against your skin.

Those sheets only bend in 1 direction at a time, so if youre flipping it either roll it over on itself on a bench... or hang it vertically first between 2 people then turn.

In my experience, the chisel point on a brad nail can and does tend to cause any deflection out of the wood to go perpendicular, or 90 degrees to the orientation of the nailer, so I in fact hold it the other way to the how you suggested, so I can hopefully avoid a nail deflecting sideways out of trim and casing. All it takes is a small bend in the nail and it will steer itself very quickly in a different direction, and if the nail curls up somehow it can even come out the front and sometimes even back into the material. I say from experience, safety is important, and a good rule is to never have your hand in front of the nailer, however a deflection can send a nail back towards you as well, so ALWAYS wear safety glasses. My two cents.

First time I’ve watched the whole video in a long time! Back to the woodworking I subscribed for!

[Sunkencitydesigns]

Please more video like this!! This was epic!

[jasonhajek]

This is the 2nd video of yours I have watched!! I am now subscribed! You are the type of guy I would like to lean up against that new bench and have a beer with!

Packouts in drawers (0:40)- so to get a component, you-
open slider
unlock lid
lift lid
get component
close lid
latch lid
close slider
Seven steps to get an item.
Drawers do it in three. And have about double the storage density.
Drawers- one item deep, no more.
Your MFT (9:15)- those cutouts are meant to have large radius corners. You have massively reduced the strength by cutting too much out.
Frames are not needed- the whole thing can be made of sheet. Just as strong, and more storage space. Cheaper, lighter, better... I could go on.

I just bought a 4x8 x 3/4 piece of ply that already had a butchers block formica for $50 from a thrift store that I plan to make in to a work bench top.

[adgieem]

Love your shop. The Steeler logo is my favorite item in your shop. 😉

[paule]

Looking good John, you’re looking trim 💪🏼 keep up the hard work.

[elliottanderson]

I am a fan of drawing exposed center lines for hidden wood so that later if needed you can always nail or screw without missing the "stud"

[SchysCraftCo.]

Very nice add on John. Hopefully you get great use out of it for many years to come my friend. Can't wait to see more videos soon. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friend. Fab On. Weld On. Keep Making. Stay squirrely. God bless.
