    I use my TS Outfeed Table

    My assembly table is my Table Saw Outfeed Table. I build furniture on a part time basis now and space is a premium.
    When I had a large shop (4000 sq. feet) I still used my outfeed table more than my other assembly tables. It is a handy place to asemble because if you have to tweak a board slightly to get a better fit, the Table Saw is only a few footsteps away.

    Try a drafting table

    I use an old trestle style drafting table, It adjusts to just over the height of my TS & as low as 28". I tilts too. The pencil tray serves to hold pencils & other small tools as well. Size is 48"deep x 6'. 1" thick made of maple w/ a varnish finish. I picked it up from an archtectural firm that was dumping it's old desks for computer stations. Give some engineering or architectural offices a call or any place that used to do olds school drafting, you might get a deal. Works great for me

    I am thinking about making two, now. One will fit under the other, the small one being about 36 +/- with 2 or 3 small drawers, about 4x7 and the other one about 24 +/- with as many drawers as will fit. Both having levelers and casters like Scott's. In the taller/bigger one I will have t tracks in the top. I believe it will all work out, I have done a few sketches, it seems to work.

    I finally got around to building an assembly table, I job ended up dictating the size of it. It is 4x8, it is not done yet, still needs hardboard top and trim. I will eventually put some drawers or something on the bottom, any ideas?

    My assembly table is also 4x8', 4" thick torsion box top, but I also made 3 full legth/width shelves underneath, and that's where I store my sheet stock. I usually put full sheets on the bottom and middle shelves and partial sheets on the top. The whole thing is on 6 fairly large casters, and the height is the same as my TS so I can use it for an infeed table if need be (I don't like to do assembly on my outfeed table because I always need to cut something.) I also mounted an extra full size cast iron woodworking vise on one end, and a machinist's vise on a corner of the other end. With the sheet goods stacked under the top, it doesn't move on the casters unless you want it to.
