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. Uh, no. That's lazy. THIS is ingenuity... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronn W Posted April 4, 2016 Report Share Posted April 4, 2016 I gotta make one of those. What brand of twine did you use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Llama Posted April 4, 2016 Report Share Posted April 4, 2016 I noticed that this is in the "power tool city" section. Mods, can we get a twine city section? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, you had 10 minutes to come up with an outfeed table or the world as we know it would cease to exist? 11 hours ago, Llama said: 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? No ... I had my first sheet of MDF, 2'x4', and intended to quickly cut 12" off one end. And I didn't want anything to (potentially) fall to the driveway. MDF gets ruined so easily, as you know. It's not like dropping a piece of oak or maple. And, yes, it's a little chilly in my outdoor shop once the sun gets low. So I built it quickly and thought pulling chains might be a nice side benefit to the solution. When the real solution comes about ... When my garage is ready for mostly inside work the plan is to do something just a little better than the plans I've seen online. I'm thinking that attaching a couple of legs from an old tripod might be practical. My garage is not quite level (like most) and when the saw changes orientation the ability to compensate with the very simple height adjustment provided by tripod legs would be both highly functional and lightweight. Since it will also be removable I'm thinking a simple method of holding it in place might bungee cords. In the mean time ... you guys keep laughing it up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To expand on this, even if I don't have it in me to go full nuts, because let's be honest, some things just don't matter enough for me to care that much, I'll still usually use the opportunity to try something new. 5 hours ago, collinb said: No ...

Another way to work around would be to attachthe table to the saw on a swinging pin that can be pulled out to remove, then a single point leg that comes down to your saw base. This way, or doesn't matter where your saw is, the table is still at the right level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dylder Posted April 5, 2016 Report Share Posted April 5, 2016 To me this just looks dangerous. 1 thin sheet of ply held up with 1X's screwed into end grain with no other bracing on the legs .... the other end of the table supported and tied to the saw with twine. Just stupid. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
