collinb Posted April 3, 2016 Report Share Posted April 3, 2016 Maybe not good enough for a 1.0 rating. Held in place by twine. But it works. Sent from my MotoE2(4G-LTE) using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JosephThomas Posted April 3, 2016 Report Share Posted April 3, 2016 Is...the twine a joke? Or is it actually a critical part of the structure? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tpt life Posted April 3, 2016 Report Share Posted April 3, 2016 Appears to keep it from pushing away from the saw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JosephThomas Posted April 3, 2016 Report Share Posted April 3, 2016 If it's for holding it against the saw, attach a stick to the underside of the table up against saw's rail, and use a clamp to hold the stick against the rail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Llama Posted April 3, 2016 Report Share Posted April 3, 2016 Maybe it's for decoration. Honestly I'd use the plant in the background rather than twine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
..Kev Posted April 3, 2016 Report Share Posted April 3, 2016 If it's supporting the piece coming off the saw then, it's serving its purpose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It isn't. Check the elevations on the webbing. I am hoping this was staged to check size and location before a more permanent setup? Looks fantastic as a mockup.

wdwerker Posted April 3, 2016 Report Share Posted April 3, 2016 When the stores are closed or you are stuck on a jobsite with no truck etc. you do what has to be done. Approach it as carefully as possible and upgrade the first chance you get. It wouldn't take too many sheets of ply going across it to snag or wear that twine tied to the extension table. When it does the collapse could lead to serious injury . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post collinb Posted April 3, 2016 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted April 3, 2016 Well, the twine holds the legs forward so the sheet presses against the table. No, the twine is not over the work surface. Yes, it is a temp effort. Sometimes I just like to pull the chain of the perfectionists.

The piece is real and functional. My pride is reserved for what I make and not for the hardware.

Janello Posted April 4, 2016 Report Share Posted April 4, 2016 Next I would duct tape more twine to a board and mount a spring on the outfeed table. That will pull the board through the saw while you are drinking coffee and sanding something on the other end of the shop. And if the outfeed table fails, you will be at a safe distance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, but sometimes on short notice one does something simple and functional knowing that it will be abandoned and improved upon later.

joegunnett Posted April 4, 2016 Report Share Posted April 4, 2016 Collin, does it work for you? If so, use as much twine as you want for as long as you want. Who cares what other people think. Snobs are everywhere. Ingenuity is what I say. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Llama Posted April 4, 2016 Report Share Posted April 4, 2016 Short notice... So, you had 10 minutes to come up with an outfeed table or the world as we know it would cease to exist? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
