Hi Everyone, just an update to apologize to those projects and entries I’ve missed (of course I don’t think I could keep up anymore anyway…geeez 5,500 members!). I have been busy with the time I’ve had working on the new basement shop. After moving in the first order of business was to refinish an old…very old coffee table we had our electronics on in the old house and replaced it here so we could use it as a coffee table again. I don’t really consider it a project since I didn’t make it, and it was a quickie job. Good enough to throw your feet up on [Grin]:
Next, was something I’ve been dying for, for a long time. An assembly table, heck i would have taken any kind of table in the old shop. The space I have here is incredible and to have a work surface this big is a dream come true. I built it a little taller than Marc’s (The Wood Whisperer) so it was just slightly shorter than my table saw for infeed/outfeed use, and it works great. The cabinets are just like Marc’s minus a couple of small changes…and mistakes you can’t see in the picture…on purpose LOL. So, I guess I’ll post the table in projects with a quick note, but this is just to get those who care caught up. More to come as now I have the surface to work on….and Santa will be here before you know it!
