Router Table Build, part 2

The Carcase The next step in building my new router table was to make the panels that form the cabinet carcase.  These panels are cut from 3/4-inch MDF and trimmed in white aspen.  The wood trim gives me a more durable edge than bare MDF and looks better. Before applying any edging, though, the MDF needed to be cut to size using the circular saw and table saw.  As much as I dislike working with MDF, I have to admit it cuts well.  Each piece just slid through the table saw with almost no effort and absolutely no drama.  MDF doesn’t...

Router Table Build, part 1

While I was out of town the critical parts of my new router table arrived.  It was time to start the build.   Top I started with the router table top because that’s the fussiest part of the whole project.  First I cut two pieces of 3/4-inch birch plywood 22-1/2 x 34-1/2 and laminated them together using only glue and clamp pressure.  I didn’t want any metal fasteners in the table top because of all the milling that needs to be done to it. Once the plywood slab was dry I added 1-1/2″ wide strips of white aspen (an...

Pennsic Plunder Boxes

Pennsic Plunder Boxes

This is another project I did with my friend Bill.  The objective was to design and build boxes to keep and organize what he and Amy call “pocket plunder” — their term for all that miscellaneous stuff that one accumulates during the day while at Pennsic War that then ends up cluttering horizontal surfaces in the tent at the end of the day when you empty your pouches.  What we ended up with, however, could just as easily be used to organize any collection of small and medium-sized objects, like sewing/knitting/crochet...

Router Table Plan

Router Table Plan

Since I first set up my garage workshop back in the late 1990s, my router table has been the left side extension of my table saw.  It’s a very simple design, essentially a miniature version of Norm Abram’s famous New Yankee Workshop router table. Drawers on either side give me adequate  storage for bits, wrenches, etc. and the router fence simply clamps to my Vega micro-adjusting table saw fence.  It’s worked well for me up until now, but things change. The main thing that changed, of course, is my router.  My trusty Porter...

Hall Table in Ambrosia Maple

Hall Table in Ambrosia Maple

Having scratched a few itches around the house, I moved on to the next thing that’s been bugging me for years:  the craptastic table that sits next to my front door. I won’t horrify you with a photo.  Just imagine a very generic Shaker end table, 13×28 and 28 inches tall, with tapered legs and a 4-inch apron.  There was originally a drawer in the front apron.  My first wife (not Julie) bought it as an unfinished furniture “kit” consisting of pre-cut #2 pine pieces, dowels for joinery, and a tube of cheap white...

Bill and Amy’s Shoe Box

Bill and Amy’s Shoe Box

My best friend Bill is an annual attendee at Pennsic War, where he and about 10,000 other people camp out in tents and enjoy various forms of martial combat for glory and fun.  Having seen in person the bedroom set, the desk, and other projects he and his wife Amy asked me about making  a few things to make their campsite more comfortable. The first of those things we’re calling a shoe box, but what this really is for all practical purposes is a small chest.  Its design requirements were simple: Large enough to hold 8 pairs of shoes, 2...

Sofa Table (2002)

Sofa Table (2002)

I have about three projects in progress right now but none are ready to show yet, so I thought I’d show you something from my distant past. I designed and built this sofa table in 2002.    Its main purpose is to provide some storage for less-often-used kitchen gear below (note the slow cooker and the bread machine) and things we want handy but off the main table above.   The drawers hold miscellany that we want to keep handy but don’t need constantly — school supplies (seldom needed now that all the kids are grown up), index...

Countertop Cutting Board

Countertop Cutting Board

The scrap wood cutting boards came out so nicely that I ended up giving them all away and had none for my own house.  Which is fine; they were a proof of concept, and they showed that yes, I could make a very nice and serviceable cutting board from scrap wood.  But that splitting bamboo cutting board in my kitchen was still bugging me, and I didn’t have enough thick scraps left to do anything about it. Aw, I figured, what the heck — I went to Woodcraft and bought myself a fresh piece of 5/4 cherry specifically to make a cutting...

Julie’s Bra Rack

My wife Julie’s birthday came recently, and I had an entire 8-foot piece of 4/4 cherry left over from the computer desk project.  I’d actually bought her a gift already, but there was an itch that needed to be scratched, and it involved our bedroom closet. Julie has a number of very nice bras — the kind you don’t put in the dryer or smush together in a crowded drawer.  For some time they had been stored on hangers which in turn hung from a metal bar installed at the top of the closet door.  It’s not a great...

Drill Press Stand

Drill Press Stand

The shop is evolving as I get more active with my woodworking again.  Back in November I got rid of the tiny Tradesman drill press I’d had and replaced it with a Jet JDP-12.  The Jet is a pleasure to use, but of course it’s a lot bigger than the machine it replaced — including the Woodpecker table I put on it, it took up half the width of my side work bench.  And my bits, hole saws, and other drilling accessories were all over the place. I solved the problem by building this drill press stand.  It was a very simple project...
