Learn how to repurpose old cabinets in the shop to make a new outfeed table for my table saw.  I’ll show you the tools and techniques to do this woodworking project in your work area.  You can use the same process to refinish old cabinets with drawers.

Here are the old cabinets from my basement that will be repurposed and refinished for the new outfeed table..I used these to store arts and crafts supplies.

The top of the new outfeed table is made from a sheet of Garnica plywood covered with MDF, which can be flipped once it gets too worn

The finished outfeed table with new surface and painted cabinets to match the others in the shop. I’ll eventually secure the cabinets to the floor once I use the outfeed table on a few projects to figure out the best configuration. There is a ton of new storage underneath and in the drawers.
