Hadlock posted:I presume that stop button is exactly at knee-height Yeah, pretty much. Rotten Cookies posted:It will be when the table is sunk into the floor joists I should use some of those leftover joists to make a fence. Rapulum_Dei posted:That’s a good job - where did you get the slot hardware and the longer fence rail? T-Track is PowerTec from Amazon. The fence rail is actually stock. It's a 36" tablesaw but they only give you cast iron up to about 20" or so and the rail just extends beyond that. Poisonlizard posted:Nice, I got the same router plate in the mail yesterday. Did you use the Kreg plate levelers with it? I did, but only because I didn't know they weren't required. Apparently its just so you don't have to cut a rabbet, but I would have been perfectly fine with that. I guess it winds up being a cleaner cutout, but honestly it's probably a lot easier to install in a rabbet instead. Probably gives you more wiggle-room for error too I would think. Though there is something satisfying about making a perfectly sized cutout.

I used pocket screws to construct the wings so that there wouldn’t be any screwheads on the top surface. That’s the only change I made.

Purchased a new home and my partner wanted some floating shelves. I have absolutely no experience making anything apart from electronics projects so we got some quotes from a few local woodworking guys. They came in around $300-500 and after expressing some sticker shock (poo poo idk how much things cost) one of them suggested buying some tools and making it myself (helpfully and not sarcastically lol). So a few hours of YouTube videos and spending probably $1000 at Lowes on tools, I spent the next several weekends making floating shelves, planter boxes, and a bookshelf I'm really happy with. My wife wants to get into this as well because now we have a project backlog 20 items deep and it takes me a weekend to do the simplest thing

From "no experience" to that stuff in several weekends? That's amazing work -- you clearly have a knack for it! But as for this First Time Caller posted:it takes me a weekend to do the simplest thing let me tell you how long drat near every. single. one. of my projects takes. Unless I'm turning, which I think is best done in a single shot, it's going to take loving ages.

Every saturday I have all day free I wake up and think about just how far I'm going to get on a project, then the sun starts to go down and I think well at least I finished this jig so I can get right to it tomorrow.

 Three projects in one frame. Three 10x3x2 planter boxes made of pressure treated lumber and galvanized corrugated iron roofing, 300sqft of artificial turf, and a big rad cedar playhouse and swingset from Costco.

I have been working on a Miter station/storage wall. It is fenceless with T tracks and stop blocks so the full 3ft depth (this saw is a monster) can be utilized if need be. Still a laundry list to do but figured I'd show some progress shots. The inner cabinet areas will have 6 drawers each for a total of 12 drawers.  The right side was angled to allow for a bit more breathing room at the lathe and I plan to have the grinder in the back corner. I am going to do a piano hinged door around the opening.  You can see in those pictures the surface directly around the saw are separate pieces. I did these as inserts that can be removed as this saw can go 70 degrees in both directions.  The dust collection is tied into my shop system with a catch all in the back and run underneath with some printed couplings. It uses a push/pull cable to the front for easy access to the blast gate.  The tops are 6ft on the left and 4ft on the right but that does not limit it.  It was positioned to allow a full 10ft board on the left leaving a bit over 9ft on the right.  Things I still need to do are put the T tracks in the removable pieces, make the 12 drawers, door for right opening, build shroud for back of saw to mitigate dust, upper cabinets, tool wall, and properly attach push/pull cable.

I needed a lamp. So I made a lamp. Walnut and dark stain danish oil. Some specialty diffuser acrylic for the panels, I had it from some other project, I forget what.  We got new porch furniture recently so Mrs. Bad and I have been sitting out on the porch most nights to chat and drink wine after the kids go to bed. Had to borrow a night light from the kids when we tried to play cards the other night, so this should fix that.

Half inch. If I recall, the diffuser panels are 2.5”x7”. It was all very design-as-you-go, I’m afraid of id sat down to actually plan ahead, that’s all I would have done. Would have been a killer flawless lamp with all sorts of features like rgb bluetooth le controlled lighting and a companion app and it’d tweet when it gets dark out and whatever else you can dream of. But I skipped the design phase, and so in return, I got an actual functional lamp. e: Measured, the whole thing is 3.5” across and 10” tall.

Finished the grim determination. And most of the sanding. (It rained last night and all the wood swelled, more sanding is required.)    Also a shout-out to the town board of health who forced me to move it literally 10 feet, directly into the embankment and making the built roughly 100% harder.

The town I live in had some chicken wars recently and brought in like a chicken marshall to straighten it all out. She recommended I not exceed 8 for the time being, which is fine for us for now. We just wanted some chickens, don't need a chicken farm. (The rules for chickens are tied to setbacks, and the coop is technically next to a wetlands even though it's literally just like a 25 foot across valley.) canyoneer posted:For a moment I thought this was the chicken coop poster, and thought "wow, those chickens are very well taken care of" Coop already has a swing.
