    Nice Gary, looks like it will serve you well. Is the BC plywood on top of a piece of birch ply replaceable?

        That looks to be a very sturdy table. Have you thought of adding a replaceable insert for it?

            Very Good. You will enjoy it. I agree with Chopnhack about adding a replaceable insert. Since the table is already made, you could remove the table and route out a square and make replaceable inserts. It will come in real handy down the road.

              Did I get everyone onto a DP table kick? Very nice work! How much did the HW run you? I have plenty of plywood...

                Very nice work on the DP table. Does the fence interfere with the handle to lower the bit?

                  Nice table, it looks like we both had the same project on the go this weekend.

                    Thanks for the complements. I plan on routing out a circle in the center and installing a replaceable insert. With the circle I can turn it around and use different areas before I need to change it out. Got that suggestion off the Creek.

                      What about a big hole saw for the cirlcle? It would make making inserts for it easy...

                        Good point, and if you off center the circle from the drilling area, as you mentioned you will be able to turn the circle 360 and flip over for quite some time. Nice!
