Yet Another Router Table Project #5: Back to WOOD working

Great looking design and beautiful job. Is the upper right hand compartment going to have a lift out tool board? Thanks for posting.

Tom,

This is coming together nicely. You have used a nice combination of woods in the construction and it looks like you will have plenty of storage space.

Thanks for the post.

Really like the layout, and so well done for shop furniture. You guys continue to blow me away with your talents. By the way, the knots give it character.

Thanks guys,

Yes, that is a lift out tool board, it was a last minute design change. I’m not sure how useful it will be, but I sure did waste alot of time on it ;). I can honestly say that everything I’ve done for last few years has been practice. I built a barn and a shed to practice my framing, and milling, for the “real” house. I made the bench for storage so I had the room to make the router table so I could practice making cabinets by making “shop” cabinets, so I can … :)

Great cabinet, and great blog, thanks for posting, the pictures were very clear, and Iloved the idea of using your own wood. How did you mill it? Chainsaw mill?

Thanks Yettiman,

I looked at a chainsaw mill, but ended up buying a full blown bandsaw mill because of the amount wood on my property. That way If I ever lose my job I can still build my house or sell wood ;)

BTW, related to your insurance question, I was told that my insurance company would cancel my policy if they found out I had a bandsaw mill. @#*&^%$! insurance companies!
