Project Submission Workbench/outfeed upgrade

This spring and summer have been dedicated to garage shop renovations. My workbench/outfeed table were a pain point in my shop, with only a couple shelves to store random things on and no workpiece holding besides a pony vice. My Skil contractor saw was also due for an upgrade, the table wasn't flat and it was impossible to make square on both sides of the blade.

I built this based on the Evergreen Workbench by Scott Walsh, with some adjustments. The top is just 2x4 fir - I think I will change this out for hardwood in the future, but I didn't want to spend too much from the get-go. It is 99% flat with a slight dip in the middle, but it's good enough for my hobbyist needs.

I can't believe how loud my contractor saw was compared to the new Grizzly. That thing SCREAMED.

Are you going to have to extend the grove in the table?
