Inspired by this video series on refurbishing a Craftsman Table saw, I found and purchased one.
Nelson Studios saw refurb
Here it is as I was disassembling it on my pickup.

Next up I will clean, paint and polish the wings. I plan to mask the top surface while I paint the bottom with Rustoleum hammered gray spray paint. Then I will clean the top surface and apply Boeshield T-9 and finish with paste wax.

Dead blow malletfinally made me one!
I remember years back when I started out on this wood journey, I saw a picture of a DIY dead blow mallet and was really fascinated, bought a small pack of lead beads and put it on my once to do list… Years later now I found that pack of lead beads and decided I had to finally make it, not because I needed one, but because it was a dream back then and it made me kind of travel down memory lane to make it into reality.

I will also say I am amazed at how well the cyclone protects the filter in the vacuum.
Here is...

This cabinet is made from leftover red oak, Luan, birch plywood and plexiglass that I had in my shop.
It is approximately 17”T x 7 1/2”W x 6” deep.
I would have liked to make it a little taller to handle a couple more shelves and slightly deeper to have been able to recess the back panel.
The Box I first sent the oak through the joiner to ensure I had 1 flat square edge. I then cut the board to the proper widths on my table saw then to final lengths on the Miter...

For several years, I have had a small bench top drill press. I made a table for it out of 3/4 inch plywood. It worked OK, but just wasn’t as good as could have been. When I upgraded to my current drill press, I transplanted the table and sold the other press to a friend.
Since I am building a rolling stand for the drill press, I decided to upgrade the table also. I chose the plan from Shop Notes Issue #94.
Features of this table include the following:
