These are pictures of 3 of my projects. I just finished the CrossCut Sled. It is my take on one that I saw here on the Creek done by Mark Marzluf. It is not as full featured as Mark's but I really liked it. The next is my Drill Press Table, I have a Delta 12" bench top model. I also am enclosing my air filter. It uses 20" x 20" filters both blue rock catchers and hepa filters. It has a small attic fan. It really works quite well and it is on casters. Thanks.

All three of those in one form or another are mainstays in my gara . . . er, shop. Looking good.

Let's see if I can get the pics on this time.

Those pics are too small to really appreciate them.:o

Hi Ron-

Nice work. The pictures came through fine, at least for me.

About the drill press table... I'm hoping to build one in the near future. Now that you have gone through that process, is there anything you would do differently if you were to build a new one?

Ron nice work, all look pretty useful. I especially like the crosscut sled - just out of interest what wood is used for the bulk of the stopblocks on the sled?

I had some 1/4" scrap birch and some 1" scrap lacewood.

Thanks Ron, should have realised it was lacewood - looks extemely similar to some silky oak I've got.

Very nice job. The variety of fixtures I am able to observe by members of this forum are really helpful to a newcomer like me.

In regards to the Drill Press table. I think I would have tried to make it a little larger. Other than that I really like it.
