Insert Post, Here!

With the lippings attached and flushed off with a combination of router and belt sander, I was ready to start doing further work to the top as Saturday came. What I needed to do next was to creating a recess for the aluminium insert plate and an opening for the router to fit in to. [...]

Lipping Forwards

You may have already guessed by now that I didn’t get much done on the router table last weekend. Actually, I barely spent any time in the workshop at all. I find it hard to go in there sometimes… Not just because I live further away now but, when working with wood and power tools [...]

French Door Design

I aim to do a little more on the router table, later today. Provided that my new bandsaw blades arrive in time and, of course, that I don’t get talked in to doing some other DIY-type job! It looks like it might rain today though… I won’t have much time (if any) to work on [...]

Router Table Begins!

This weekend, the weather’s been so nice that I couldn’t think of a better way to spend my Saturday afternoon that cutting up a sheet of dust-ridden 18mm MDF on the drive! Staddons must’ve received their delivery later on Friday afternoon, as they had a sheet ready to cut to size by the time I [...]

Router Table Delay

I was hoping to have my router table build underway by now. At lunchtime earlier, as soon as I finished work for the week; I popped in to the nearby timber merchant to collect a sheet of 18mm MDF. I almost couldn’t believe it when I was told that they were out of stock! I [...]

Video Tour of Dust Extraction

Those of you who follow me on Twitter or YouTube will have been alerted to my latest video upload last night; a tour of the current dust extraction setup in my workshop: (If that doesn’t work then, please follow this link.) After that most-recent video-tour of my workshop, a few people contacted me asking more [...]

Router Table Design

Earlier this week, I did say that I was going to buy a sheet of 18mm MDF today for the floor-standing router table I was going to begin building this weekend… Well, I haven’t been able to get as much done on the design-front and, until I’m more certain of the finished dimensions of some [...]

It’s Gone!

I’ve spent the past few weeks trying to sell the table saw/router table station that I only completed recently. It began with a couple of Classified ads placed on two of the UK’s woodworking forums. I did receive interest from one party (perhaps less than I had hoped for) but, by the time that came, [...]
