Fine dust and glue.

Always a winner. I have a nice supply sifted through a fine mesh tea strainer. And have been refining application by dipping my finger in whatever beverage is handy. Then a light pass through glue. Then breading my finger in wood powder. Trying not to saturate the powder, just coat it. 

Plenty from the ROS..

 

I started cutting out the cup pull outs. I used the plunge router to make the outline with a jig and tomorrow I will use the same router bit  with a D handle router to clean put the center..

 

Finally got around to cutting out for the cup holders. Using the D handle and a router but I cut out the remaining material..using an air grinder I cleaned it up..

 

I cut the blocks needed for supporting the chip rails and main table surface. Because I will drop one of the rings and even two surfaces I needed to notch the plywood.. Because I;used the tablesaw it left a little less meat on the center. So I added a block. whe; in doubt, add, add, add..

So here's my decision of the day. Because of the radius I can either chop an angle ir just out it square. 
 

As you can see, it only affects the cupnholders .

 

I’m going in to the shop tomorrow to evaluate the situation on the  poker table. There are many pictures missing and  I’ll try to put those up soon..

So here is the chip trays and outer ring. I started an inner Cherry ring, but undecided if I’ll need it..

 

Glad to see the progress update on this Jack. I hoped you were still building this to completion.

So I have to be careful here. There is a bit of depth with the chip tray and the arm  rest....Because I had cup holders underneath. The height of the table still remains the same.

Thanks. I’m trying to show different things to be built. Different processes. Some I feel are really simple , but time consuming..

 

For many of us, we have more time than money..

I needed clamps that coukd reach 6* and I went to HF and Menatds to buy wood clamps , but didn't like the way they kept getting stuck while moving them.up and down, so I made cam clamps.
