A few years ago, Norm Abram built a nice mobile work table that had a simple and effective means of remaining stable, but also had casters to make it mobile. I liked the idea and plan to implement it myself on this table, and other new work tables as well. I haven't built this part of the table yet, but will post details later.
I built a frame out of 2x4s to support the top, and built legs from two sections of 2x4 attached at 90? to each other. The height of the table is just lower than the height of the table saw. For the top, I used more of the 3/4" MDF that I favor for work surfaces. I attached everything with 2-1/2" drywall screws. It is very sturdy, but I will probably add additional bracing and a shelf (or possibly enclosed storage) later on, just because.

I left a nice overhang on all sides of the table, for clamps, and cut off the two outside corners at 45? to prevent unpleasant runnings-into. Later, I will build the caster assembly rails, but you'll need to wait to see that.

To accommodate the miter gauge, I milled two slots into the saw side of the outfeed table, so that I can slide the gauge past the blade as necessary. I built a simple jig out of scrap wood and routed the slots as needed.

I plan to build a second section of outfeed table, identical in detail to the first, in front of the extension table. The second section will be 4' in length, rather than 8', since the table on this side will only come into play when cutting sheet goods. It's probably not strictly necessary anyway, but since these will also function as work tables for the shop, I figure I might as well go for broke.
Later, I was up on a ladder removing stickers from some windows and thought this overhead view was worth a photo.
