Last week I got to try out my new saws,,just doing some small house projects but also trying to get my tool stand lined out for my drill press. It's gonna need some bracing under the tabletop. Report

April 24, 20251 yr Popular Post comment_355585 Had to redo my 3 that were glued together, once glued together I couldn't get them back in place Anyway,..have 3 more cut and will glue within the framework of the stand. Also have some space from the stand bracing to the 2x4's. It isn't much but when I set that drill press on there it's gonna bow, may eventually crack. I guess I shoulda accounted for that and notched them to fit to start with, but next week I'll add some shims so my tops are evenly supported. Also setting up a smaller stand for my little bench top band saw. Report
