You could easily modify one of those and turn it into a router table. Roll your window down and all the shavings would blow away - and your neighbors wouldn't complain about the noise. Need to round over a corner on a long board? No problem - just...

What a shame to put good wood to a use for heat. You would think there is enough wood lying in forest and tree areas to use for firewood. Outside of my pet peeve that is one very good machine.Joe

The carbide bits worked great on it... It actually plunge routed better than wood... no grain to worry about....

Did you mill the Corian at all? How did it come out? I've hear that carbide tipped router bits shape it well.

Actually, it's as rigid as the day I cut it. It's a very decent surface to work on... If I had to do it again, I would go Corian again...

Tom, nice posting. How does the Corian hold up? Does it flex?

The first thing would be to post a link wherever you think an interested party is hanging around, like in this forum, for example. If they follow the link and like what they see, your followers will grow.

Nice clamp rack. I'll need one soon. I just picked up a pair of Jorgenson Cabinet Masters (the recent FWW rated them the best parallel, I hope to confirm that rating this weekend) to compliment my collection of K-Bodies. I'm still looking to pick ...

Setting a Proper Table

The router is one of the most versatile tools in the shop. Dovetails, mortises, tenons, decorative profiles, rabbets… the list goes on and on.

While they are extremely useful hand held, mounting them into a table dramatically expands their usefulness. I discovered this when I first bought a little bench top Skil router table for my tiny fixed-base Craftsman router. Suddenly, I was cutting joints and profiles I never knew were possible.

Things have really changed since those early router experi… Continue

Tools I Use: My clamps

There are certain statements that are beyond refute. The sun rises in the east. The only two things that are unavoidable are death and taxes. Bread always lands butter-side down.

And, as most woodworkers will agree, you can never have too many clamps.

Here’s the arsenal that I work with on my shop-built rolling clamp rack. I have what I consider (especially given that I’ve seen other woodworker’s collections!) a pretty modest, yet fully functional setup.

Spooky stuff I've built

Decorative Halloween Coffin
* October 2008

Walking into any large retail store is always an interesting experience. Because mass merchandisers have to think well into the coming months, they have to push the products for events quite a long time from now.


My kids were barely out of school for summer break (maybe a month) when retailers started putting out their back-to-… Continue

Is he the Norm?

This was posted on my blog on January 15, 2008. In light of today's news, I thought it would be good to repost...

Get a group of woodworkers together, and, eventually, the topic of Norm Abram will come up.


It’s not difficult to figure out why. He’s been a fixture on This Old House since the show’s inception in 1979 – nearly three decades. This year, the New Yankee Workshop marks… Continue
