First Project: Table for Drill Press

Looks good Matt; welcome to LJ’s!

Looks really nice. Doesn’t look anything like a first project to me. I have yet to work up the nerve to tackle a drawer on anything and yours looks great. Thanks for posting.

If you want more practice, I need a drill press table, router table, TS Sled, Circle cutting jig for band saw and the list goes on…...

Nice “First Project”!

-- Randy-- I may not be good...but I am slow!

I hate building drawers.

I love first projects.

I think mine was a butt joint.

No. It wasn’t part of a piece of furniture, or anything. I think I just nailed together two boards at right angles.

Badly, I might add.

Very nice way to introduce yourself, here. Welcome !!!

I agree: a DP table is a WONDERFUL addition to that handsome Delta DP ! I bought mine (shouldn’t have. Easy build), but it adds a LOT of versatility to my DP.

Even simple “clamping blocks” that can go underneath the table, and give you a flat surface to which you can clamp “object boards” is a great addition…..

nice job and looks good. I just hope it holds up the wieght of that drill press.. It would be awful if it fell over on you

-- build it with wood and build it with love....

Mattf Hello! I liked that his draft, the drawer is very useful accessories for the drill! Congratulations!

Yeah, I agree. That does not look like a first project!
If that’s your first…watch out…can’t wait to see what you’ll be making a year from now.

I wish my first project had looked this good. Dang, I wish my last project had looked this good.

-- I grow ever more accomplished at turning a perfectly good piece of wood into sawdust.

as a first is very cool
well done

-- I am not so rich to buy cheap tools.

Thanks for all the positive comments! I took the perfect picture to hide all of the flaws.

First project??? Holy Crap brother that looks great.
