Project Information
This "simple" has been dragging on for way too long, but I have a project Ive started and need to finish this one.
I started out digging through the wood pile and I found a piece of quarter dawn oak, 3/4" thick. I roughed our the shape on the table saw…. then I put the project down as winter was approaching and I had to finish up Christmas presents first.
After Christmas presents were done, I took a little time to dissect were to go next, so I took the factory insert screwed it upside down to the new insert, I then used my router table and a flush trim bit to cut it to the same shape and size to the factory. After that, I removed the screw and factory insert. Using a Forstner bit and the screw holes I drilled out the recesses for the leveling screws.
Fast forward several more weeks, I got back to my router table to cut out recess for the little itty bitty ledge on the table saw. After that it was a little bit of free hand shaping using the router.
I purposely left a little extra in the top side, so After all that I took the "finished" insert back through the planer to get the perfect fit.
