    Some new toys for the shop

    Hello Everyone, Well I had a very productive day in the shop. I finally finished the two things that I have been working on and planning for a month. The first is my Band Saw table and fence. I was going to purchase one but decided to build it instead. It's a knock off of the Rockler table. I also made the circle cutting jig for it. After road testing it I decided that it was a job well done and very acceptable.
    The second is my 3-1 Table. It was from Shopnotes Magazine. I only had to make a few changes to it to make it work in my Flip top Table. I impressed myself with this one guys. It looks cool and works very well. I plan on only using the Table set up as a mortiser but it can be used as a Jointer and Router Table.
    Here are some pictures of everything. Give me your honest opinions please, Also any changes that you can see to do.
    As always,
    Keep Making that Sawdust.
    Lance

    You did have a busy day, and looks like a very productive one. A great job, and you'll get some accuracy and pleasure from using what you created. Got any projects planned?

      Nice looking work. When I click on the pics I get pop-up ads.

        Nice way to spend a day. And yes it is so nice to get something built - so you can move on to another and another and so on. Nice job by the way. Enjoy!

          Both very cool projects. I need to do something like that for my BS.

          What are you driving that 3 in 1 with. IIRC the ShopNotes article was written for trim router.

            I used my 15 year old Black and Decker 1 hp. Router. It works well but it does have its limitations.

            Keep Making that Sawdust.

            P.S. I can not help the pop-ups. Sorry

              Nice job on the router table. I saw that article and thought it would be a useful item to build. And an excuse to buy a trim router!
