I designed this using sketchup with the idea in mind that I would be using the incra offset router table top. I have 4" fixed casters on one end, and on the other end 3" inch swivel casters. So this puts the table lower on one end by 1/2" allowing me to roll it around. I have two heav...

I break it down to approximate size with circular saw, then use the SS

At the end of the day, when I'm ready to quit, it looks pretty bad. But, the following morning, I clean up, put everything in its place, then restart the project. I only do this, so that I'll know where everything is. But, then again as the day progresses, I'm going, "Now where did I lay down t...

That's exactly why I bought the Bosch TS4109 table saw. I do all the dado or anything that is going to need change over.

I wanted to buy one of those large offset router table tops, but the shipping cost was a killer. So, I bought the 17" LS positioner and added an extension to my existing router table. Someday, maybe I'll get the really nice Incra top.

LOL, yes her friends are saying, pretty soon your house is going to be filled with his homemade furniture. Wood working can be so relaxing, what a great pastime. More recently, I've really gotten into hand planes, learning how to sharpen and tune them up. When you get them working properly, they are...

I have the plans for those. One of these days, I'll get around to making them. Looking forward to seeing yours finished.
