I need a nap after thinking about all the work that went to them...

Holy glue-ups, Batman.   Hope you have a CNC to drill all the holes.

I hope you don't end up with some sleepless nights.

And the order PAID for the CNC machine ? ? ? ? ?

 Started this a while ago. Cut the top to size and glued up some pieces for the sides.

Realizing that my material was too short to go around the lid I cut it in half and added some strips to make up the shortfall.

Routed some grooves to accept the top & bottom and did a dry fit. Need to glue and cut the lid from the box. I left enough room in the grooves to let the top float.  Add hinges and maybe some feet.

very nice...

@DuckSoup...Cool...really like it; awesome contract & illusion.

I like those ,haven't attempted one yet. You did an excellent job, good work.

@DuckSoup That is some amazing work. Maybe you could tell us how you do the initial glueup?

 Thanks guys. The concept comes from a recent magazine issue but after glue up & cutting at 30 degrees I realized that my stock was too short. The oak was remnants from a drafting table turned into a bench, cherry came from a church remodel, mahogany from an old door & the walnut was found lumber left at an auction. Some times the repurposed woods limited length & wide forces the brain to the creative side.

It paid for most of it. I did go backwards a little with this order however having it will simplify projects in the future and allow my wife and me to add to our product line.

Just a stack of old iron is taking up room on the bench...

All because someone wanted to see how I have cambered a few edges..

And the top of the stack..

But, have no fear, as soon as the last picture was taken...these all went back to their places.   BTW, bottom plane is a Stanley No.5-1/2 Jumbo jack. 

I was turning the cups for ball and cup games that I take to the Akron Children Hospital each year and I couldn't find a spot to set them all in together as I finished them.  I decided it is time to clean it off some.  First off here is a link to the finished products in the Turning Forum section.

 

 

 

Haven't had that much clear space in a while.  Didn't take long to start using it.

 

 

 

 

 

really cool drinking cups beer mugs that are hard to set down...

Here is one from awhile back.

 

 

 

@Dadio Can you share a picture of the inside of the box under the table saw.  I am trying to figure out the best way to handle the inside of my table saw stand.

If you can visualize this:

 

The top of the cabinet is cut out 3/4" smaller than the base of the table saw. (A big rectangular hole) A piece of plywood inside the cabinet slopes from the front of the TS down to the bottom of the back. The sides of the slope has plywood wedge shaped sides on top of the slope that angle up to the top and to the 6" DC outlet on the bottom at the back. Essentially making a chute for the sawdust the follow.

Then there are 3 drawers in the cabinet , the length of the drawers vary because of the slope of the chute.

Did I describe it so you can visualize it?

@Dadio

I get it. Thank you. I am considering making a drawer for mine. The saw dust will fall down into the drawer and then I can clean it out from time to time.  I do not have the luxury of dust collection.

 

Thank you.

Thats an excellent idea, just cut a hole in the top and make a bin to catch the sawdust that you can pull out and dump.

Good thinking.

I don't recall. Is the back of your saw enclosed? My saw has the hanging motor out the back so the back is all open. I was thinking about rigging up something to enclose it.
