A few months back I posted an aquarium stand I built with my son. He now wanted a canopy for the tank so he could add more lighting. This was another fun project to work on with my son:

I'm used to working with traditional tools but I built a power-bench-bridge (PBB) with products from Eurekazone. I put it together to break down plywood panels. On the aquarium cabinet my son and I cut all of the plywood panels on the PBB and I milled the solid oak pieces on my TS. For the canopy I made it completely on the PBB after surface planing the rough sawn red oak (except for using my router table to cut the tongue/grooves in the doors).
I still love working with my TS and other traditional tools but was very impressed with the results of the PBB.
