Shop update 2021
It’s a little late this year, I know. My excuse is that I was busy in November/December and the shop was never clean enough to do this. (Not that it’s pristine now, as far as that goes.) So, here is the good, the bad, and the ugly. Back wall of the shop We’ll start here, on the back wall. It’s largely the same as last year, save for the addition of the Domino and a radiant heater in place of the two heated fan units I’ve had for a while. This heater is rated for outdoor spaces, and I generally keep it down at the...
read moreMini-projects
I did several mini-projects for the shop with my recent vacation. None of them are really elaborate enough to do a post on their own, so we’ll just aggregate them here. #1: Air Hose & Compressor Storage My air hose has been on a reel, which was bolted down to some MDF to make it somewhat stable, for years now. And next to it, on the “wrong” side because the air hose had to twist a lot, the compressor had pretty much free reign under the oldest storage unit. It’s been bothering me for some time, so I finally took...
read morePlaner Stand
I had three problems in the shop that were bugging me enough to fix. All the stars aligned and I found one project to help with all three problems. The plan for my new planar stand, less wheels and drawers. It’s not much of a plan, but at this point it was all I needed. Since I didn’t have floor space to spare, I planned to replace the steel DeWalt planer stand with this mobile stand. The four drawers would provide a much-needed storage boost to a shop still hurting for places for tools to live, and by making it a little bit...
read moreRouter Table Dust Collection
I love a lot of things about my new SawStop. One thing I especially love is how well it handles dust collection — not just the saw, but the router table too. The router is enclosed in a box with a 4″ connector, and the hose splits off of that to a 2.5″ hose for the fence. It’s great, and does a wonderful job of corralling a lot of the crud that comes shooting off the router’s bit. So much so, that I decided to retrofit a similar scheme into my other router table. There was lots of material on YouTube from people...
read moreShop Update 2020
I haven’t done one of these in a couple of years, but things are very different now. The new CNC Router. Here is the home of my CNC router, a Next Wave Automation CNC-Shark II. I haven’t got this really organized yet; I’m still figuring out the best way to do that. It did cost me some of the lumber storage, but I think it’s a worthwhile trade. The CNC is used primarily to make patterns, which I then use with the router to batch out multiple identical parts. I’ve also made small projects on it, like cutting...
read moreMortising Block
This is another of those been-meaning-to-get-around-to-it projects. It doesn’t have anything to do with getting a new table saw, but I did use cutoffs from the storage unit to make it. A Jeff Miller-style mortising block This mortising block is based on a design by master chairmaker Jeff Miller, a guy who knows a thing or two about mortising with a router. I added the T-track on top after seeing a video from Fine Woodworking magazine. It’s pretty simple to construct. I laminated 4 pieces of 18mm plywood because that’s what I...
read moreTapering jig, revisited
I had a little accident with my tapering jig recently. I was using it to true up the leg stock for my new outfeed table, and it fell off the back end of the saw. The piece was fine, but the sled broke at the routed T-slot at the back, so I couldn’t use it anymore. My fault for not rigging up an outfeed solution while I built the table. I figured I’d build another when I got the chance. Well, I had a chance today. Really, I needed it, and I had large cutoffs left over from the outfeed table. But rather than just make a replacement...
read moreA Crosscut Sled
Can you believe in 25+ years of woodworking I’ve never built one of these before? I’ve meant to, but just never got around to it. So, with lots of cut-off plywood to use, I figured now was a good time. These sleds come in all shapes and sizes, some way fancier than this one and some plainer. Mine is 24×32, so moderate to large in size. The fences are 3 inches tall, which probably could have stood to be 3-1/2 or 4 inches if I was thinking about it. It has a T-slot on top of the back fence for my Jonathan Katz-Moses...
read moreOutfeed/Assembly Table, stage two
Stage Two of the assembly table project is done! The table, with holes in the top and drawers painted. The hole-drilling went easy, mostly because I threw money at the problem — I bought a jig from Woodpecker that made it pretty easy. The jig consists of a template with 12 holes, three edge pins, three hole-sized plugs, a guide bushing, and a 1/2″ upcut spiral router bit. Basically, you start in a corner, using the edge pins to define your starting place, and route the first set of holes. Then you move the template, overlapping a...
read moreTablesaw Accessory Storage
Another project I needed to get done quickly was some kind of storage for the table saw. I’d lost all the storage from the old cabinet, and while I had a hell of a lot of saw now my push sticks, tape measures, stop block, templates, blades, etc. were now taking up most of my back table, router table, and drill press. This was not going to be viable going forward. One of the things I didn’t really expect about owning a Sawstop is that apparently half of Youtube also owns one, so a lot of things have been solved already in a dozen...
