Looks great so far. Love watching people with more experience than I have design and build as they go. I’m hopeful my skill level will allow me that flexibility/creativity someday. Never would have thought to use a torsion box to give the top more stability without adding significant weight. Very clever and I’ll have to remember that.

Thank you all for your advice. I'll hold off on the drill press table and buy a much cheaper bushing. Then, perhaps, someday I'll get around to building a table for the DP.

Biggest thing I want my drill press for right now is to make all of the bench dog holes on my upcoming Roubo build. Just want to ensure I have accurate, 90 deg holes. The reason I’m looking to purchase rather than build is just to save time as I have a list of projects to complete that is a mile long. Not opposed to building one myself though if I can find a good plan.

Looking to buy a drill press table and fence from Woodpecker. Seems they want to charge me $50 for the slowest and cheapest shipping option. Does Woodpecker ever offer free shipping or discounts?

Beautiful table. Love the grain pattern on that cherry. One of my favorite woods to use. Nice job!

Beautiful work. Just out of curiosity, how long did those carvings take you to do? I know nothing about wood carving, other than the pocketknife whitling I used to do as a kid.

Looks like Klingspoor has like 7 different paper types. Any recommendations on which to use?

Nicely done Drew. Can't believe I never thought about doing through tenons in this way with dominos. Glad to see that it came out as sturdy as you wanted it to.

I’m a sucker for anything Blue Spruce. Bought their coping saw about a year ago and still haven’t used it

The old version used to jump to the newest post in a thread that I hadn’t read yet. Seems I now have to go looking for that in this new version. Anyone else notice this change? Or do I need to modify a setting somewhere?

Welcome! Always nice to have new people to join us and motivate us with their amazing projects.

Looks really nice Tom. Will have to keep that in mind if and when I need a new one. Never have liked how clippings get left behind even when bagging

I really love my Grripers as well. I don’t particularly like my blade guard and it has no dust collection functionality, so I typically leave it off, so I love the Grrrripers for when I’m cutting small parts or ripping a thin strip off of one side when I’m finishing my milling.

Ugh, no love for love bugs from me

Let us know how it works out
