    That sounds like something I'd like - I am just a noob beginner here and only doing some small projects as I get time, but I love the sound of that.
    Is this the product that you are referring to?

    Thank you for reminding me! I have worked with plexiglass and it is definitely tricky. I made my own spice rack when I couldn't find what I wanted. :)

    Oh I definitely am not expecting to have something that belongs in the "fine woodworking" category. :) But yes I consider this to be one of those learning projects, and I expect that there will be...

    I will have dust collection out the back, and small holes in the plexiglass. This seems to be a pretty common setup so not sure that heat buildup will be an issue, but I will keep that in mind. ...

    A "half lap joint" - I just looked that up and I think that will be doable. Thanks!

    And I definitely want to put in a switch like that...the face on that top right compartment now pulls off - I...

  7. Suggestions on how to make a plexiglass door for this cabinet? Limited tools!

    Not sure that this is the right place for this post, or even the right forum. If not please feel free to move or if there is a better place to ask...I will do so.

    I posted earlier about my dad's...

    I use the fine sanding pads that are in my local Benjamin Moore paint store. They are inexpensive, and are perfect for painted surfaces.

    What is that exactly - a table saw? **Never mind. Just googled it. :)

    I finally figured out how to use the router in the table. I had company over the holiday and just have not had much time, but the last couple of evenings I played around with it. I didn't realize...

    Thanks - this one simply does not turn on at all. Nothing. Not a hum or anything - completely dead.
  12. I used a brad point bit, those have such a good...

    I used a brad point bit, those have such a good tip I could use it to mark the center too. I put a bit of WD40 on there, and it drilled a nice hole. No cracking. Yay!

    The old router has a lot of rust, and it really looks to be in rough shape. I just don't really have the desire to spend the time repairing it.
  14. Is there a specific type of drill bit that one...

    Is there a specific type of drill bit that one should use to drill into that plate? Just asking since the last one I seemed to make a mess of...

    Yep that is what I got. I think I had read that you could adjust from the top - there is a little twist wrench in the kit. I was thrilled to see that I could match up the 3 hole pattern. (Seriously...

    Not sure I want to deal with taking it apart and looking for parts. I found this video but I can't even get through the first minute - the guy was talking SO slow LOL. Had to fast forward - enough...
  17. Thank you very much for this. Very helpful and...

    Thank you very much for this. Very helpful and after reading it I made the decision to go ahead and buy the Bosch 1617. And WOW on the cost of a lift! :eek: While I can afford it, I have no desire...
  18. Oh my GOSH. That is the exact cabinet!! Thank...

    Oh my GOSH. That is the exact cabinet!! Thank you so much for finding that. So now I know that he DID probably intend to put a stop/start switch on it. Knowing dad, he just procrastinated on that...
  19. Thanks! So much to learn! :o

    Thanks! So much to learn! :o

    Using my existing table and plate, what lift could I get that would work, and with what router?

    Would this work?
    ...
  21. Yep - I understand that. I think I just want to...

    Yep - I understand that. I think I just want to stick with the plate that is there now. I am still learning about all this so probably best to not try and get too complicated yet. :p And I won't...

    Thank you.

    I don't mind spending a bit if it gets me some real convenience. Since I have the plate already (and it is a 9 x 12 plate which apparently is not that common a size) what are my...

    Thanks. What about the "lift" function that so many mention? Do all routers come with this feature now? (Again, sorry, this is ALL new to me - I have only used a palm router and that was just this...

    It's a Porter Cable 8529.
  25. Decided to keep my dad's old router table...but the router is toast.

    I had taken home the router table top and the fence, but I decided to go pick up the cabinet as well since the top was made for it. It has been sitting in a barn for probably 5 years and was in...
