My router table terrifies me. More than my jointer or any circular/plunge saw (I have a Sawstop so little fear there). I do everything I can to keep my fingers away from the bits.

I am a hobbyist and have two track saws, a Makita and a Festool TS 75. They both serve a purpose and I love them both. They take up little space and are very versatile. Buy one and try it for a...
Very nice. I need to make sure my wife does not see this.
I struggled when deciding on the height. Before attaching it, I pushed it up and down and finally decided on that height. Not sure I would have it that high if I did it again. I wanted to chamfer it,...
Thanks, Will.
I finished up the table last week, pretty happy with it. Mitering the 3” slab was tough. I could not get the angle perfect so I had to use some epoxy, but only I will notice it. I like the narrow...
My dad gave me two 3+” x 17” x 144” white oak slabs a couple of years ago. I built a couch for the porch with one of them. It was a big project at the time and if doing it now, I would do a lot of...
Nice. Did you make the legs or buy them? I bought metal legs for a project but was not really happy and would love to make some. I guess I need to borrow my dad’s welder again.
That is phenomenal work.
That is very nice. I like the contrasting woods.
How would you even use the drill? That contraption is crazy.
I have the Rikon and love it.
is there a shop nearby where you could try one before deciding?
I have a too many road bike tubes lying around, I will try it. And it will be cheaper than the rubber tubing mentioned earlier.
I just used the standard blue tape I had on hand, I will look for the beige tape.
I will keep that in mind. Someone else mentioned roughing up the surface a little, so I will try that too.
that looks a lot like the photo Edwin posted. I will try it on the arms this weekend.
i bought a band clamp a few months ago and have yet to take it out of the package. I guess I should check it out.
That is cool. I love the continuous grain. You should figure a way to may them open or a removable panel to conceal things that need to be concealed.
I made a desk for my second office last year. I knew it would be a temporary office and I had no idea what I would do with the desk when done. I build it properly and with care, but did not fill a...
I really like the looks of that. I could cut a number of them for different builds.
I may try the gluing blocks on that you and others have mentioned, but I think your other suggestion is what may...
Rubber hoses sound like fun...oh wait, wrong forum. They actually do sound like an option, I will check into them.
I have seen people glue Cutoffs to the work piece but I am hesitant to do that,...
I am working on a chair project and the angles are not 45deg. I tried the painters tape glued to painters tape with the cutoffs but it did not hold. I them tried clamping the cutoffs to the members...
That looks great. In every thought about avocado wood furniture before.
Thanks guys. I think my skills are getting better and I have a lot more projects to practice on
That will be really beautiful.
