Norms Router Cabinet #8: and Finally the Fence

« Part 7: Router Table Top Design Part 8 of Norms Router Cabinet series no next part

I have had the cabinet completed for sometime now, and had the Incra Fence already. However it is not a general purpose fence, one that you can attach feather boards and such to. I need to be able to keep my work flat on the table for my current project (Sliding Dovetails) so I am now having to build this guy out. Having read about the complaints about the MDF swelling after a period of time I have decided to finish mine out with paint. I went to the BORG and grabbed a can of a off white spray paint from the clearance rack and when I checked out the SKU was no longer in the system and the clerk just gave it to me! Here are a some pics.



I only made one mistake the top fence I put the Dado on the wrong side (for a piece of T-Track). I have filled that dado in with a piece of scrap walnut and will put the dado in the proper side this afternoon. This is also my first go at putting Laminate on solo, and thankfully that was successful. I do have to say that contact cement is quite messy though. Most of the MDF has glue sizing on it already and hope to have it assembled and painted later today. In the second pic you can see that I painted one of the blocks already to test the resulting color, also you can see the results of the glue sizing on the fence face at the bottom, the strip you see there does not have any of the glue sizing on it.

sIKE, this is looking pretty good. I am sure Norm would put his seal of approval on it as well> :)

This is certainly an inspiration to get started on mine.

Hi sIKE;

It’s looking good so far.

I think projects for the shop are the most fun.

Nice work.
