Reclaiming lumber

I have needed to build an outfeed table for over a year. I also am tired of using my table saw as a workbench. I replaced my stairs last year with a new set of oak stairs. I saved as much of the lumber as I could from the old stairs. I decided to make an outfeed table using as much of that lumber as I could.

Here is the pile of lumber I have




I set my Robland combo machine up


Here are the pieces I selected for stretchers


Douglas Fir 4X4X8 cut in half for the legs


I cut my wood to rough length then it's onto the jointer


Cutting the legs to length


Stretchers are now cut to length


I cut dados in the legs for the stretchers. I had to do it the long way with many table saw passes since I don't have a dado blade.




That's it for now. I will post more later

Putting it together

Here is a pick of the table frame after putting it together:


The stretchers fit into the dados in the legs


I put the lower stretcher almost on the floor because I want to put a couple cabinets in there with some drawers and shelves.






The top is being glued and screwed together out of 2 4X8 sheets of MDF


Next it's onto putting the trim on the table and then the finish.

Finishing it all up

Well the outfeed table is now complete. I put a coat of sanding sealer and a couple coats of clear satin poly on it.
I am pleased with how it came out and I am glad I took the time to put a quick finsih on it. Thanks for reading along.
