Major cool bench. Did you buy the extrusions and cut your own or did you get the 80/20 folks to configure it for you?
I had and still have an idea to construct my own bench similar to yours. Thanks.

Saw that video yesterday-really cool machine from a bygone era. Glad to see it bring put to use and not in a scrap heap.
OSHA would poop in their pants seeing that unguarded beast in operation.
you can make an insert out of wood, use a Forstner bit to make a depression on the underside and super-glue some small magnets to hold it to the depression in the table.
That is a beautiful piece. Proportions are nice also.
Curious question: what type of finish did you use.
Like Jim I have been following the shop/barn build from RR on the 'tube. The metal brackets and spacers keep the timber from contact with the concrete.
I have put treated posts into the ground, but...
Check out the new jig from KatzMoses tools. The patent-pending jig utilizes the kerf from the saw blade to precisely set the rear fence 90 degrees to the blade. Neat idea.

Cabinets are really nice.
Makes me really think harder about getting a CNC. Due to shop size it would have to be one on the smaller side.
Track saw rails are made specifically for track saws, and other than using it for a straight edge to run your saw against, it would be nearly impossible to use a standard circular that is guided by...
Levers and wheels. I have moved each machine in my shop with a combination of pallet jacks, cheap HF furniture dollies, crow bars and framing lumber for leverage. Weights from 400 to half a ton, each...
I have a nice router table with a ton of bits, but in making a set of exterior doors I felt the need/want to get a shaper. I found a used Rockwell/Delta 3 HP shaper with a 3/4" spindle for a nice...
What the heck. Go ahead and order a FAT300 from Felder and cry once. On my Christmas list.
The Woodworking Shop Store (Klingspors) should have it. I have several rolls that I use for making my own sanding blocks.
Nice shaper; especially the fence upgrade and feeder. Both would be a sweet upgrade on my Hammer F3.
As for proper speeds for your cutters; material choice, tooling diameter all play a role in...
10 years ago I built some louvered shutters from Cypress. Painted well and have stood up well even with direct sunlight and seasonal temperature changes.
Cool build. Similar to the 3-headed shaper that Grizzly markets for the same purpose. I bet your model was much more price-friendly.
I have the A3-41 machine; the 16" version of yours. I guess I was lucky as it worked flawlessly out of the crate. I would emphasize 2 points made by others:
1. Outfeed support is crucial for long...
I remember seeing a 1 into 2 connector for the vacs in a Festool catalog at one time. There may be one available at one of the on-line sellers of Festool products such as Tool Nut. Lacking that it...
Very nice space; looks like you have plenty of room to add a jointer/planer machine on a mobile base. Just push it against a wall when finished.
That is a really beefy bench; you don't have to...
You will gain more support if you bring the stretcher up to meet the bottom boxes. Brass and Walnut are a great combo, but only if used in small amount. Nice design.
That's awesome. I wouldn't get any work done for looking at this work.
I am using the Aluminum extrusions available from Woodpeckers and others on my miter station, with the Katz-Moses stop blocks. I only use it to size straight stock, and it is aligned with the miter...
I am restoring a Stanley #4 style plane and need a replacement screw for the front tote/handle.
Does anyone out there in hand-tool land know the thread size/pitch of this item.
Thanks in advance.
Saw similar properties in the North Carolina mountains while working insurance claims there. Snowbirds/Florida property owners who only used these luxury homes a couple of weeks per year.

Just watched a You Tuber making some T & G paneling for a door using the groover for the groove cut and lowering the head for 2 passes for the tongue cut. He then tilted the head on his shaper (it...
Congrats on the new toy. It is always an adventure figuring out how to move a heavy machine from a pallet to its final resting place. Felder/Hammer does a great job packing their machines. My F3...
