I managed to get the top on during the week and got it mos of it trimmed out today. I need one more small stick of poplar to finish off the edge by the bench top tools.


I decided that I didn’t like the setup for the bottom piece of the dust collection for the miter saw. I took the top off and moved the hood to the top of the bench.
You can see that I also have got the line ran for my compressed air.
I am planning to use a small and lite coiled air hose to get the dust off that isn’t caught by the DC.
Here is where I am going t hook up the TS to the DC.
Up next is to get the RAS cabinet in. On the top picture you can see a dado, that will fit the top for RAS. I also will need to rework the cabinet for the Sink. I built the sink cabinet first. It was designed to be 3/4” shorter then the height of the bench. I then decided to lower the height of the miter bench by a bit over 4” to bring its height to be co-planer with my TS. A good decision I think, but a change mid-stream no less. So it has to come back out and have the its hair cut….as well as an adjustment to the DC line that is running though it.

sIKE,
This is coming together nicely. You may be finishing this up soon (if you can keep from making more changes). :)
Your bench is looking real good.

Great looking shop! It is comming along nicely. I am in the process of putting in a 14 X 21 shop. I am getting bids in from tappers and am going to order my cyclone tomorrow. I still need to get 220 service in and the shop wired. I will start Bloging after the tappers are done. Good luck on your shop.
God Bless
