New Router Table and Mobile Workmate Stand

New Router Table and Mobile Workmate StandAgain caught in the Shop Shed and small Space. Thank goodness for saving scrap particle board from cabinets, bolts and parts from the trash day clean up. Some paint I had, and Past experience since this is my second router table top made from this plan. The insert I had saved. Cheap plexi glass will warp. This is the Harbor Freight 2 hp I bought for about $50 with 1/4 and 1/2 collets. I reinforced with blocks the recess since it left only a 1/4 inch and you see a 2×3 frame for the underside. I added 3/4 boards at the edge for extra since my plan uses bolts and wood blocks to clamp the fence, even if you use another clamp I would reinforce the edge. This was 5/8 particle board from cabinets spray painted 4 coats of black and a coat of paste wax. The fence boards are particle board and I made the slots for screws…really nasty to slot particle board but its solid. And the small notch for sawdust. the top is 28 by 16. The mobile base I made 24 by 24 and had blocks to bring it up 7 inches and the old casters were just extra. as were the edge boards. you can find this idea on utube. In my 8×16 shed I needed the mobile base. A pvc dust pipe will be added to the fence.
thanks. Hal

Utensil Holder

Furnished content.
(from Lumberjocks.com)


Utensil Holderbuilt this kitchen utensil holder for my wife after the glass one that she had was broken. found some leftover cherry from another project, re-sawed it to the desired thickness on the bandsaw, then decided to try an octagon instead of a typical square. it worked out well I think. i poured a bartop epoxy in the bottom to help keep it from getting damaged over time. finished with some wipe on poly and paste wax buffed out. it really made the grain pop on the cherry! the wife is ecstatic with the result. thanks for looking.

Mortar and pestle

Furnished content.
(from Lumberjocks.com)


Mortar and pestle Hey everyone, I finally have a project other than my flags to show off. Here is a mortar and pestle i made for my mom back home in Kentucky. It is turned from a piece of Japanese Elm burl that I bought from an exotic wood dealer on a recent trip to North Carolina. Interesting fact about this piece of wood is that it came from a tree that grew in New York city and when it was cut down nobody wanted the tree so this specific dealer acquired it and long story short I purchased this 5 and a half pound piece for 20 bucks a pound, probably the most I've ever paid for a chunk of wood. Special piece for a very special Lady!
