Thanks for the video! I would turn the back of that cabinet into the sawblade storage, save the drawer... I made my sawblade storage out of oak dowels and blocks set at an angle so they don't slip off. Have a great week!
Thanks for the tutorial! I had some free time and a bunch of scrap wood looking for a home, so I made the side off-cut storage bin from this video. Works like a champ!
LOL @ 19:27 - the sound that goes along with the button press is perfect. BTW building something upside down is something I do all the time, and I think your 9 day streak is quite impressive.
This video was suggested to me because I have been looking for modifications to my table saw. Really enjoyed your presentation and style. And you sealed the deal with the "days of dumb" sign. THat was hysterical! Got yourself a sub
I built Michael's version of the cabinet and one thing I failed to consider was knob on the tilt mechanism. I flew a little too close to the sun and it was difficult to operate. I was able to find a shorter spinning knob that fit though and that made it work a lot better without having to nudge it over. Thanks for sharing. I love seeing how you figure out how to integrate additions to existing fixtures. I always learn something from you .
First video of yours that has come up. I very much appreciate your humour. Watching it made me think that I ought to spend a couple of days doing nothing in my shop but resolving the pains that I’ve got; live with but curse at daily. Mine are different to yours but that’s not the point. A couple of days? I’ll be lucky. I can only work in short periods now (an hour in the shop and then rest; back to the shop and then rest etc.) that everything takes so long and I’ve got a backlog of urgent, critical and life-threatening jobs to do. Weekends are spent on machine maintenance, sharpening and cleaning. I’ve got the same under table saw storage solution as you made. However, in other parts of my shop, I have used office desk pedestals that can be got very cheap second hand. With the price of decent plywood, they can be bought a lot cheaper than you could make them.
is no one going to talk about the shot in the ad! he gave himself a drink and he picked it up! it was seamless! assuming he shot himself put down the drink and left the drink there while he shot the right side of the ad. he masked the drink in post until the reveal. great job
DUDE! That was the best video cut ive ever seen where your fake twin brought the smoothie. I blew it up on the big screen in high resolution and I cant see how you did that.
The best thing about a dust collector is that it still collects dust even if you never use it. I haven't been in my shop all summer and there's a thick layer of dust on mine.
I just installed the outfeed table in my saw stop. I immediately noticed the same problem that you did. I used some Velcro straps to hold the legs in place. But I like your magnet solution better.
Great video. So well done and produced. You can see the effort put into the video, much like the effort put into the builds themselves. Awesome designs and fab. That cabinet software is killer. Mahalo for sharing! : )
Desucking projects are so extremely gratifying. I keep a running list of things to tackle, and whenever i get stuck on a project or am extremely uninspired i just do something on the list for an instant dopamine hit.
All great, and simple upgrades. Adding that extra space on the back was brilliant. Maybe add a fixed panel area on the bottom to clear the hose, and then a couple of doors to close it off and use it to store larger things like a cross-cut sled. The only other thing I'd do is add some supports for the table top to the top of the cabinet, to replace the legs you removed.
You never fail to make my day better. You are so darn smart. But the best part is you never fail to make me laugh. Today of all days, I really needed that!
Great video, thanks for sharing. Shows what can be done with planning and skill. Thought: Could the space behind the drawerr cabinet be used for a different dust collector that fits the space? Letting you use the existing one as a general workshop portable?
Did you end up leaving the table extension over the cabinet cantilevered? It looks like you didn’t add any support after you removed the legs, but couldn’t tell for sure.
I'm adding a shim underneath, but most of the strength in the table comes from the large pieces of angle along the front and back. I'm not sure those legs even did much with this short a table.
You've given me some ideas to make my table saw more enjoyable. Love the jokes. My wife is in the next room reading and she wants to know what the heck is so funny. We have exactly the same sense of humor.
Be grateful your able to move at all. I got Bone Cancer at 32 and I have been permanently disabled ever since. I would give anything to be able to walk again and ever mote to be able to buiild things again. So just remember you maybe getting ilder but you are WAY better off than I am and I just turned 40. So I watch budeos like your to wonder what my life would be like if I didnt have a useless broken body. I envy you. Keeo up the videos.
I got a couple of those pads because i hated working on anything around the driveway (be it gardening, tinkering on the car, anything) as its exposed aggregate and kills your flesh. Now i use them everywhere.
12:12 I've got that same Craftsman vise (well I've got my own, not the same one). It was my dad's I've used it my entire life. I used it to sight in my BB gun. And to hold my bike wheel for repairs when I was a kid. So now it sits in my shop.
Man I love these ideas. I've been planning on doing something like Michael Alm for the storage idea, but I have a router table/dust collection on mine, but I'm going to copy your idea about removing the legs and adding that outcut box as well..LOVE IT! Thank you!
Hey Wesley! Great video and well-engineered / executed solutions per usual! I don't own a SawStop (yet), so I don't know how important the metal support legs are to keeping the table supported and plumb. The new drawer cabinet you built doesn't appear to engage with the horizontal table when the saw is lowered onto it's legs. Could you / should you add support blocks on top of the cabinet that align with the guide rails for the fence?
Projects like this is where true human creativity and innovation shines. How do I make this easier and suck less. For example, walking and running to get everywhere sucks. Let's tame horses and ride them since they are way faster and better at it. Horses suck, let's use an engine to make this stagecoach move on its own! That sucks and needs roads still and even steam boats are to slow. Being on the ground also sucks, so we are going to figure out how to fly! You see where this can go, but it can be something simple, like just wanting to hold a piece of metal better while blacksmithing. This need resulted in one of the most useful tools that is in almost every toolbox in one form or another: vice-grips. Simple, effective, and like the crescent wrench, not the right tool, but good enough to be the right now tool.
Great mod.s! That cabinet software from Inventables looks awesome. And I'm right there with you on your OCD non-matching castors. I would have been on Amazon in a flash to get four matching ones, no matter how unnecessary. 😥
Shop upgrades. My favourite. One note, could have made the base for the cabinet longer and have the dust collector sit on it eliminating a couple castors and the floating attachment point.
I need to be able to detach the vac and roll it outside to empty it. It gets pretty heavy when it's full. Plus, combined with the cabinet, you'd be talking about a lot of mass extended very far away from the base. That's a lot of leverage on the attachment points when I'm moving it.
I don't know where it came from, but this looks to be very similar: amzn.to/3KvIyAK. I had the seat folded down and was using the pad I mentioned right after that.
I’ve been brainstorming a cabinet to go under my Sawstop as well. Did you decide not to support the extension table? I’m not sure if I need to put little legs on top of the cabinet or something…
There will be a support on top of the cabinet, but first there's a detail I need to rectify with the bolts that previously held the legs. Those bolts also fastened the extension to the support angles.
Nice upgrades! I no longer make dadoed bottom drawers and only make rabbetted bottoms. Easier to make, every bit as strong, no worries about plywood expanding and pick up extra depth in the drawer.
Followup - project idea... How about making a table or desk with 'plywood strips. Cut a nicer plywood into strips, then turn edgewise up and glue to make a 'slab' and cut/shape to a table or desk top. I made a nice coffee table that way... has a nice 'striped' effect on top. I have been thinking of even 'steaming' the strips and making a 'wavy' pattern.
Will the doors come open when you move the system around? Mine did so I put magnets on the doors to provide enough resistance when moving them but not so much to make it hard to open
Entertaining and educational as always, from the Breaking Bad reference to the minor panic when I thought that you were going to tackle Pain Point 4™ before you had done Pain Point 3™
I've been meaning to do that for a long time. Ostensibly, you can adjust the brackets so it clears, but I've never gotten it to work. I just need to dismantle it and cut the tubes shorter.
Dude! Love your videos! You are so innovative and imaginative. I had a question that you may or may not be able to answer. Is there an app or formula for placing legs on 'odd shaped' coffee tables? i.e., I like to make 'mid century' or 'retro atomic' style coffee tables in 'odd shapes' (kidney bean, 3 sided, random curved shapes) But I have problems figuring out where to place the legs to maximize space to make the largest 'base area' to keep the table stable with 3 or 4 legs. Some retro styles use 3 legs, some use 4. Four legs is especially hard on 'bean shaped' tables. Any suggestions? Thanks!
I didn’t cringe when you drilled into your table saw castor mount for your cut off collector, but when it looked like you drilled a hole through the swivel portion, I had to laugh, now you own that!
I'm aiming for the suckless life. Every day is different. Sometimes, I come out closer to my goal, sometimes life throws up something new to add to the list.
Tell me! Where can I get a cushion with your face on it? 😍 On another note...I have been watching your videos and I love that fact that we have alot of the same tools!! So many people with Festool, which is great, but i love watching someone with the same brad nailer, floor surfacer, drill, there's too many to name them all. You got me at the Sawstop though. I only have the piddly little Warrior, but it gets the job done. Would love to chat sometime. I have no one to discuss "maker" type stuff with and I know a conversation with you would be AMAZING.
Chasing the ultimate dream of sucking less. Nice improvements here. Sure to be super helpful. That cabinet bulding software looks pretty slick. I'll need to check that out and see if it can be used without the CNC, though I see how it's twice as helpful with one. Thanks for sharing!
It is amazing how we can have a shop full of tools, but can't find the time to build a place to store or organize them. How many years do we put up with mediocre shop storage and then one day, "Ereka!" we build some simple box to solve all our problems.

I love how optimistic the without a dumb sign has 2 digits!! We all live through that struggle!!
This is one of my favorite videos of yours and given me A LOT of inspiration! Thank you and well done!
Thank you, I appreciate it!
This video was suggested to me because I have been looking for modifications to my table saw. Really enjoyed your presentation and style. And you sealed the deal with the "days of dumb" sign. THat was hysterical! Got yourself a sub
This was a great video! I love working on a project, but shop infrastructure projects are my favorite days 😊
5:10 I recently tried to climb up on one of my workbenchs and very quickly learned the benefits of a step stool.
I built Michael's version of the cabinet and one thing I failed to consider was knob on the tilt mechanism. I flew a little too close to the sun and it was difficult to operate. I was able to find a shorter spinning knob that fit though and that made it work a lot better without having to nudge it over.
Thanks for sharing. I love seeing how you figure out how to integrate additions to existing fixtures. I always learn something from you .
@1:10 I’ve heard that he even does his own stunts!
Absolute legend.
Nothing like the joy of figuring out a problem and the solution working as you envisioned!. Great vid. Love the humor.

You need to get with Discovery Channel and get a show of your own. Your content, off beat humor and editing is just so entertaining and enjoyable! 😂😂😂
Just found your channel... What a treat! :P
Love the humor and the ingenuity.

The cat sound. I was hysterical.... Had to watch it 5 times or 20 ! Love your stuff & the humor !
I have to do some of these. The wasted space under the extension table has always bothered me. I really like a chest of drawers under it. Good video!

Great video, thanks for sharing. Shows what can be done with planning and skill.
Thought: Could the space behind the drawerr cabinet be used for a different dust collector that fits the space? Letting you use the existing one as a general workshop portable?
It would have to be a very small one.

Did you end up leaving the table extension over the cabinet cantilevered? It looks like you didn’t add any support after you removed the legs, but couldn’t tell for sure.
Yeah I expected some kind of bracing between the table extension and the cabinet
I'm adding a shim underneath, but most of the strength in the table comes from the large pieces of angle along the front and back. I'm not sure those legs even did much with this short a table.
Oh oh oh!! I'm totally going to have to try that Inventables software!!
Aww, I was secretly hoping that "rethinking the table saw noise" would also be on the list. Nice upgrades though!
Wesley, These are incredible adaptations for the saw! Super ideas! Thanks for sharing!
Well now I gotta get an X-Carve Pro. That software is slick!
This is great, I'm thinking of getting a sawstop and I'll likely do some similar things. Thanks for the excellent ideas!
Connecting the dust collector to the table saw to move around is something I've never seen before! thanks for the idea!!
The Sam Rockwell 'Moon" joke was brilliant!
You've given me some ideas to make my table saw more enjoyable. Love the jokes. My wife is in the next room reading and she wants to know what the heck is so funny. We have exactly the same sense of humor.
Cracking projects Wesley! I’m right behind you on keeping accessories with the tool. Also, can thoroughly recommend Omnicastors for movable things.
4:40 This is the kind of task for which self-taping, self-drilling screws were designed 🙂
Be grateful your able to move at all. I got Bone Cancer at 32 and I have been permanently disabled ever since.

What did you do to fill the space between the top of the cabinet and underside of outfeed table, to allow the cabinet to actually support the table?
There will be a support
I love problem solving like this.
Looks like good progress. Isn't that blade height adjustment wheel going to be hard to use now?
Thanks! Blade height is on the front. The side is angle, but there's still plenty of room.
Great work, and a well put together video 😊
you could use that space in the back of the drawers as storage for spare bandsaw blades
Not a bad idea 👍

@@WesleyTreat ahh. Didn’t think about having to empty it 🙄
Same here Brother; it’s an outright miracle. It finally hit me one day; my wife is right about EVERYTHING lol…
Where is the link for the dolly you are using at 4:56...thereabouts......under the table ???? Please.
I don't know where it came from, but this looks to be very similar: amzn.to/3KvIyAK. I had the seat folded down and was using the pad I mentioned right after that.

If you haven't seen Michael Alm's work, you should check out what he does with patterned plywood. 👍
Beautiful, functional and shiny ! 😌
Neat!
I would go as far as to say, "if you haven't modified it, you haven't really used it!" 😎
Will the doors come open when you move the system around? Mine did so I put magnets on the doors to provide enough resistance when moving them but not so much to make it hard to open
The Friho slides I use have a positive stop to hold them shut. (Link in the description.)
I don't care if you eventually run out of upgrades to make in your shop. Upgrade your upgrades, I don't care! I like these videos!
😃
Haha, yes. When all of your upgrades are done, you can always add in some walnut trim somewhere.
Very nice solutions to your problems
Entertaining and educational as always, from the Breaking Bad reference to the minor panic when I thought that you were going to tackle Pain Point 4™ before you had done Pain Point 3™
I enjoyed the video, good ideas. One suggestion, I would paint both the cabinet and wood storage Box.
They'll get a couple coats of @TotalBoat Halcyon 👍
Very much enjoyed this! Thank you sir may we have another?
I think number 3 is my favorite solution!
One more thang 😊 i like your boots, hell id wear them to a wedding
You can modify the folding outfeed further so it lays flush with the back of the saw when folded down.
I've been meaning to do that for a long time. Ostensibly, you can adjust the brackets so it clears, but I've never gotten it to work. I just need to dismantle it and cut the tubes shorter.
Ok, so NOW I get the numbers! Nice improvement, Wesley.. Oh, and #ShoosmithSighting. Scott
How's the thermal barrier door working out this summer?
It makes a big difference 🔥
@@WesleyTreat Rad!! Great to hear!
The legs you removed had levelers. Did you loose that feature resting the table on the cabinet, or is leveling not an issue?
If I need to, I can install levelers upside-down on top of the cabinet. But, I've never adjusted them, anyway.
Nice upgrade's.
But..... how is the saw resting on the cabinet?
There will be a support between them. Have to rectify a minor hardware issue first.
Dude! Love your videos! You are so innovative and imaginative. I had a question that you may or may not be able to answer. Is there an app or formula for placing legs on 'odd shaped' coffee tables? i.e., I like to make 'mid century' or 'retro atomic' style coffee tables in 'odd shapes' (kidney bean, 3 sided, random curved shapes) But I have problems figuring out where to place the legs to maximize space to make the largest 'base area' to keep the table stable with 3 or 4 legs. Some retro styles use 3 legs, some use 4. Four legs is especially hard on 'bean shaped' tables. Any suggestions? Thanks!
Thanks! Unfortunately, I don't know anything like that. But, maybe someone in the comments can answer?
Doesn't the new cabinet block a swinging door on the table saw that used for cleaning underneath the blade?
I've never opened that door 🤷♂️
I didn’t cringe when you drilled into your table saw castor mount for your cut off collector, but when it looked like you drilled a hole through the swivel portion, I had to laugh, now you own that!
I'm aiming for the suckless life. Every day is different. Sometimes, I come out closer to my goal, sometimes life throws up something new to add to the list.

Holy frogs you even make me like to watch the info-mercials 😮
How hard is it now to raise and lower the blade? Not much clearance there.
The handle for raising the blade is on the front.
Cool ideas. I just subscribed.
You should get a real filter for dust collector

Dangit! I need an XCarve. Lovely build and, meh, 9 days, that's pretty good. Sometimes I barely get two days in a row without some sort of "oops"
Great build !
Clone jokes❤. The cabinet software is freaking awesome 👏
"If you can't modify it, you don't really own it." Spitting truth.
