Pictures of the mess

[bigsteel15]

I finally got the guts to post some pictures, based on another thread about the tilt-up BT3.
Figured while I was out there I would take a couple of shots

I don't know how to title ach photo.
the first is the start of new mobile cabinet
The second is for the benefit of Steve (ssmith1627)
Third was my very first WW project. Bench base is free Southern Yellow Pine $x material. Top is a $30 solid core, maple trimmed door from recycled building materials center.
Fourth is my main "stationary workbench from the same place as the door. Cost me $150. It is 8 ft long and the L is 5 feet deep.
The mess is kind of why I haven't posted previously.

Fifth is...how the heck did that get in there. My 4 yr old in soccer tourney on the weekend.

Great looking little girl

At least your little girl is clean...

[scorrpio]

Did that girl cause all that mess?

Yes?
She did help but honestly I can't blame most of it on her.
You should see my office.

I'm a pig and I'll admit it.

Hmmm, looks pretty clean to me.... :-D

You'll notice that I don't have any pics of my shop up. There's a good reason for that.

I saw the first picture and thought - hey that's not to bad then you just had to show the others. Yeah you are - well, I'll just say messy but who cares. Really? Beauitful little one though and you can be proud of that. Oh, good job on the table and TS cabinet. I especially like the design of that table.

Mac,
Thanks for the kind word on the bench and TS cabinet.

The messy bench got a little fine tuning today. I had an epiphany.
Don't have a new picture yet, will post tomorrow.
If you look at the last shop picture above, on the arm of the bench, by where the DC is just showing , I installed 2 T-tracks, 24" apart on there to hold my DT jig, Ridgid sander and any other jigs I might decide to make.
I also opened up the right side of the long stretch and added shelves to there and behind the door.
Now I have the Ridgid underneath and need LOML to get me some more of them there plant trays for more mobile storage.


Enough rambling Brian, just post a darn picture and be done with it...

Good looking mobile cabinet...just wondering...is that plywood that is bolted to the bottom of the saw a solid piece or does it have an access hole in it
to allow you to perform routine maintenence on the bottom side of the saw
when needed ? My thought or $.02 worth. eezlock

That isn't plywood bolted to the bottom of the saw.
I made a frame of 3-1/2" wide x 3/4" thick birch and installed threaded inserts to bolt the saw down.
This way when I tilt the saw up, I have full access.
I'm also going to insert a DC hood under this area dropping everything down into the cabinet space below and drop the BT3 DC port into there as well to make a single point DC hook-up on the end or back of the cabinet.
