new2woodwrk Posted March 11, 2018 Report Posted March 11, 2018 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!

savethebeer Posted March 11, 2018 Report Posted March 11, 2018 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 Bob new2woodwrk and OCtoolguy 2 Quote

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.
