Planer Extension Tables My 12" planer has one of the longest feed tables on the market. However, when planing really long stock, I slip a 4' x 12" piece of medium density fiberboard (MDF) with a board added to the front edge to hook over my in-feed table. This gives added support for those long pieces. Sand the top surface of the MDF and wax it for easy feeding of stock. Robert Smith Dallastown, Pennsylvania Fold-flat Inexpensive Shop Horses One problem I always have when doing woodworking projects is table space.While I have a couple sets of sawhorses that I use to set up temporary tables, the more sawhorses I have, the more I have to store when I'm not using them. So I came up with a unit that stores easily and is versatile. These are easy to build to any size required and cost a lot less than the price of metal folding sawhorses. The legs are just 2x4s with an angled dado (24°), half the depth of the 2x4, cut in each leg. The legs are cut at a 57° angle at the top and bottom. The long dimension is making the horse 36" tall. I add 1x4s top and bottom to keep the horse stable. Drill a hole through the center of the dado in each leg and secure the two legs with a 1/2" x 31/2" carriage bolt and a wing nut. To store the horses, simple loosen the wing nuts, pull the dados apart, swivel the legs on the bolt until the 2x4s align, then retighten the wing nut. Dischmond L.
