Well got 3, 4'x8' sheets of 3/4" plywood rippd down to 3- 9/16" strips for my work bench & my lathe bench
In a room that is 10' x 8' it wasn't fun at all. Definitely my next purchase is a dust collection system. Chuckie was covered in saw dust from head to toe. IT WAS FUN AS HECK!!!!!!!! now if I can only stop sneezing & blowng sawdust out of my nose. LMAO

Is this going to be a 5-pc. lamination on the legs? As well as laminated stretchers and aprons?

Looking forward to pics Chuck. I can relate to the 10 X 8 room and a big piece of plywood. It takes remodeling just to make the first cut!!!

John,
Boy you are not kidding. I haven't bought a dust colecion or a shop vac yet. Saw dust everywhere. I had to wait until today so I can glue up the peices. there was so much dust you could just about see. I put all the dust in a paper bag so I can use it for cracks in my turnings.:D

I called Woodcraft today to see if my slow speed grinder came in yet they said it will be at least a month thecompany had such a great demmand they can't keep up. well looks like i go to get a stone to sharpen my turning tools until my grinder comes in.:mad:
