Yet Another BT3k workstation

[final_t]

It would have been done a LOT sooner if Real Life and Family didn't get in the way:



Still have to do some minor work to it, such as building the saw blade rack in one of the drawers, and build a router fence, but overall, it's pretty much done.

Wow! Very nice, did you make the drawer handels?

Sadly, no. I got them from Lee Valley - item # 02G1315. I did turn the pull on the router access panel (which you can't see).

Great job!

[gmack5]

Nice

Nice, very nice indeed.
Looks well thought out.
Nice finish too!

General configuration is very similar to what I have in mind for mine, one of these days.

[Ken Weaver]

Nicely done T!! Really looks great!

[cgallery]

Loving it!

[Wood_workur]

very nice.

[jhart]

Very, very nice I'd be real proud to have built that.

Very nice! It's similar in concept to the one in ShopNotes this month.

Is that a torsion box on the bottom?

Great job.

It's kinda similar, yea - I had started on it when the issue arrived, but I've modeled after lots of other units I've seen here and elsewhere. The router top area I totally got from Rod Kirby's writeup on here, modified slightly for my design.

Yes, it's a torsion box under there!

Oh and I'll try to post other pics later if I can.

As requested. Made clicky so don't swamper everyone:

View of from the back with the wiring setup to keep things tidy. Ignore the stylish duct tape - still working on the port mod:
