So sorry to hear this Don. I will be praying for you.

My New Years resolution? I’m gonna leave it at 1920 x 1080. That’s been working pretty well for a while, no need to change it.

All done with the basic machine. I do plan to add a new router table extension wing but other than that it’s all finished. I rewired the motor to run on 220, it’s a 1HP, might shop around for a 2 HP but this will do for now The fence is set up and adjusted A couple of shots with the dust...

Looking good Steve!

A little more progress Old school alignment with the good old combination square. Extension wings installed Of course the holes in the rear fence rail don’t line up with anything. Go figure.

A little more progress over the weekend: Fourth and final coat of paint A little pinstriping, just for fun. Dry fit of the table and hand wheels. I’m really happy with the way this is coming together.

That is sweet job on that fence. I have an Excalibur 36” capacity fence I’ll take off the old 12” machine.

Laid off from my job this past Thursday due to corona virus so I have some time on my hands. I haven’t had a lot of time over the past several months for shop time but since everything came to a screeching halt I had time to finally get this finished.

From the Kennedy Center Honors a few years back. The look on Merle's face says it all.

...and it might be a productive weekend in the shop. I was going to make the trip into Columbus for the Woodworking Show but today the Governor put the kibosh on gatherings over 100 people due to the coronavirus so that show has been cancelled. Looks like there won’t be any sporting events to...

Doh! I didn't notice the date, I did't realize till now this was a revived post. The Myspace links should have been a clue but I'm not that quick on my feet anymore. Actually I was never that quick, on my feet or otherwise but that's a whole 'nother thread altogether.
