My week ends

[new2woodwrk]

So, I've been in and out of the shop all week with various tasks.

First I made a humongous down draft table (pallet wood so no cost).  Then I realized I had no place to put it.  So I cut it in half LOL.

I already had the handle, the pvc for the dust connector and the peg board I removed when I put up my French cleat system.

Then I made a drip box, attached it to one of my workbenches, and finally got to add legs from the Rockler brackets I ordered

Also, learned a valuable lesson about cutting letters  - Which you can read in my blog if you're interested.

I finished a bunch of cuts, the wife painted a bunch and I started spray lacquer on them

Also cut up a bunch of patterns, and set up for the weeks cutting (this is 1 of 8 panels prepared)

Lots to do next week... hopefully

Oh, and we finished our taxes as well LOL!

I like both the drip table and the downdraft table. I wish I had the floor space to use, but everything I use has to be moveable.

Are you using the drip table just to dry things or are you doing the painting as well

Hi Bob,

My shop is similar - everything needs to be on wheels, attached to something else or hung on the wall! I have a few tool carts I made that are multi-purposed - drill/bench sander, bandsaw/grinder etc. 3 of my workbenches are also on wheels

I have a separate bench for painting, but I do use it for can spraying, spray lacquering, brush finishes etc. as well.

bob, do you happen to have a workbench you could build a downdraft table into? no pics of mine, but thats what i did. when necessary, i can lay a piece of ply over the top for a work surface. plus, parts dont fall through the holes that way.
