Absolutely! I had one for my previous Craftsman saw, but the miter slots are different on this old one, so I'll make a new one soon. With a bunch of improvements that I have learned from the old one. I also want to make a taper jointer jig, and I have a really nice miter gauge coming as well...

Yup, those side mount drawer slides do cause a big loss of width. You could try using bottom-mount drawer slides, and use thinner plywood for the sides of the drawer and one sheet of the thicker stuff for the bottom only if you want to put heavier stuff into that drawer. But it's looking great...

Here are a few pics of what I did get done on the workbench this weekend. I closed in the lower section below and behind the table saw. Then I built a drawer to fit in the space. This drawer will house all the table saw accessories, like the riving knife, feather board, push-sticks, etc. Maybe...

Friday we also started on eating the left over ham. We made ham sandwiches with little breadrolls for lunch, and had ham and boereboontjies and gravy for supper. Of course the dogs also got some left over ham... But in the early hours of Saturday morning Sammy got sick. He puked all over the...

Wow, a lot has happened in the last 4 days... Thanksgiving was awesome, a free day off work, spent the day in the workshop puttering around and doing stuff on the workbench build. Dinner was great; the ham was lekker, and Mrs. Zog made real boereboontjies and a lekker gravy to go with it. We...

And here I am in shorts and a tee 😇

I ordered another sheet of Formica, and I returned the broken one to the Home Depot. I used the palm router to round over the outside edges, and again sanded some more. Then I swept, and vacuumed out a ton of dust, and wiped down the frame of the bench. Then I applied the first coat of varnish...

I also bought an adapter to drop the 4 inch dust pipe down to 2 inches so that my shop-vac hose will fit. But I needed to get the chute back out from under the table saw so that I could properly glue the adaptor on with construction adhesive. The problem with that however, is that the chute is...

A day full of ups and downs. I started off by heading over to Walmart. You see, winter has suddenly arrived and this morning I remembered that at the end of last winter I threw out all my old long pants because they were very holey and stained and getting too tight around the middle. So when I...

Another week done & dusted. The weekend is here! Mrs. Zog made tacos for supper, washed down with rum. I'll get to some more projects this weekend, but for now I'm relaxing after a manic week at work. I console myself that because of the Thanksgiving holidays next week, I only have another 8...

Glad to hear that the pellet burner is finally working and you guys are warm. We had cold temps here this morning as well in Florida, when I got up at 6am to let the dogs out to pee it was a mere 43 degrees. That's just 6 degrees in real temps :eek: But thankfully it warmed up during the...

Wow, those walls are impressive! But I have to ask, why do they need those massive walls when the crime rate there is so low? Are they keeping something in, or out?

Hey Derek, the USA certainly is a very magic place, I do love it here. I'm sorry both you and Vrau Airguitar have come down with the 'vid. Hopefully the technician can fix the pellet machine soon, and you both make a full recovery soon.

Yes, that is the plan. (y) Once the Formica is glued down I plan to cut two slots beyond the table saw table with my router. That will allow not just the miter gauge to have travel, but I am also planning a multifunction sled for the cross-cuts and joinery cuts. I can't remember if I...

Nice! Your skills on the lathe are certainly right up there now! ;) Is there anything that you can't do? :unsure:

Eina, the damage to the bike is almost worse that the fib-fracture :eek: Glad you are keeping going and making "life with Dad" the very best you can. The kids will remember that, and no matter what happens, you will always be their hero. Our Home Depot over here doesn't do coffee, or...

Last Sunday I had bought the two sheets that I was going to make the workbench top from. So Saturday around lunch time I placed the first one, a 3/4 inch (19mm) sheet of plywood, onto the top of the workbench frame and carefully measured out where I needed to trim it. While doing this I...

Another weekend done and dusted :cool: Saturday morning started off with a bunch of work on the water heater / geyser. Mrs. Zog had been complaining that the hot water had a strange yellow tinge to it. The cold side was clear, so the only culprit could be the geyser. I started off by trying...

Today I did a thing. I saw an ad on Craigslist that looked too good to be true. But I fell for it anyway. I contacted the seller, the item had only been listed for 34 minutes, I felt that I was in with a chance. He replied to my email. I had his address, so when my lunch break came around I...

WOW!!!! just WOW!!!!!!!!! What an experience! no wonder a visit to Florida took second place :ROFLMAO: I'm so happy that you got to experience all that, and the visit with George must have been incredible, despite his narcolepsy. Well done boet!!!!!!:love:
