I'm in the middle of a complete kitchen remodel. I've doubled the size of my pantry, and I'm adding an island. I'm fabricating all of the cabinets too. Celeste wants a live edge top for the island. I'm still looking for the perfect slab and when I find it, I'm going to make an "epoxy river" top for the island. It is going to be very cool. I'm going to have to flatten the slab and make it thinner overall because most slabs are in the range of two inches thick.

I have decided to build a router sled to use with my Freud 3-1/2 hp plunge router. I ordered a couple of 20mm linear rails with bearing blocks. They came in yesterday. I've already designed and printed a prototype bracket to mount the router to the sled. I just finished fabricating the mounting plate for the router. I'm still engineering portions of the sled, but I think I have almost everything figured out. This is going to be a nice tool to have. I'll post pics of the progress soon.
