Not much going on around here as of late, so I figured a little dust making was in order...
I needed a router fence for my widdle router set-up & I added some old t-track, better than what I was using, & will have to do until I get rich enough to build a stand-alone with more power...
After tearing down & re-sizing the wife's storage room in the shop, I had a bunch of leftover 2x's, used them up slapping this contraption together...
I was tired of the open stands and the waste of space they eat...I plan on closing it in and adding some drawers on both ends and doors to close in the motor,
and possibly a long drawer beneath the motor support...I used the old castors from craftsman and for now they actually do lift & support the whole mess so I can move it when needed...you can see in the second picture how it only lifts the bench about a half inch, but that's plenty...hope it holds...ruff being broke, but hey I still get time in the shop
& speaking of being broke, got a few freebies simply by the wife doing her job...one of her manufacturer/distributors ran a little special on sales, earn points for each sale, cash 'em in on a slew of selections...She got me a chainsaw to replace the one 'someone' left on the tailgate that went bye-bye and a new printer 4 in one machine which was perfect timing as our old one ran out of ink....kidding it bought the farm although it was expected being a 2003 model...She also cashed in enough points for $250.00 worth of gas cards, so...can't complain about much too loudly
