Router Table Gloat

[Blake Barr]

It's been far too long since I left NH, sold off the whole shop :( save what I could move with me. I'm still a crippled woodworker, no table saw or band saw etc but with the hand power tools (mostly Bosch) and a couple CL gems I'm back in business. I figured a little bit of a gloat thread was a good reason to sign in :). Ohh... an neither required any fixing or work...!

First, today's find and probably one of my last big tool purchases until I get another promotion.. A router table (Bench Dog top) with a 2hp Dewalt router, built in power and dust collector wiring plus a BUCKET load of bits and extras.... All for $300!!!!!!

I also picked this up awhile back for $180 including the stand. 12" Hitachi sliding compound miter saw!

And these counter-tops are my current project... They are beech from idea, are 1.25" thick and are $59 for a 8 ft piece!!! Stained with Duraseal floor stain (to match our floors) and waterloxed.

For my final gloat I'll just mention I have full spousal support... and she also demands my next saw be a sawstop... ahh, Heaven on earth..
