    My old MLCS insert plate finally became too warped to use, so I got Rockler’s aluminum plate which is smaller than the insert cutout in the MLCS table. The MLCS plate is leveled through the top with 4 screws, while Rockler’s is leveled from underneath with 8. The MLCS table is also 3/8”...

    Hello all! First time, long time. So I'm wrapping up my veeeery looong running cabriole leg and leaded glass coffee table build, and I have an edge profile question. This thing is huge, about 6' long. I made the legs massive as well, to hopefully be proportional. I know very little about...
  3. Projects Custom Carved Sign

    I got off the hook for Christmas early this year! My wife just expanded her bookstore to triple the size into a beautiful new building here in Kodiak, Alaska. To fit the aesthetic, she asked me to make a sign befitting of the warm, cozy, and refined aesthetic. I said all that it would cost her...
  4. Projects CNC Bit Holder

    I made this CNC Router Bit Holder a while back. I was reluctant to post it since I was off center on a couple of holes. But it's just for shop use and serves a good purpose. I used the Rockler inserts that can accommodate both 1/4" and 1/2" shank bits.

    Hi, I need to make a recessed circle with a 4 1/2" diameter and only approximately 1/4 " deep. I am finding it difficult to locate a acrylic router template that exact size. Any ideas where I can buy a template, or a different way to achieve this? E.g. the solution could be to cut a 4 1/2"...

    Hi All- I have a 1617evspk (2 actually) and the plunge base slips upward after being set in place. I've poked around here and saw collet issues (definitely not that) discussed but can't figure out how to tighten the tension on the depth hold once set at a plunge depth. I figured it was the screw...

    I have reviewed and am going to make this router jig, but have a question what router bit to use. I have the MLCS catalog and am thinking of either Straight Router bit, Shear Angle Straight Bit or Spiral straight bit. Also to note I am planning on making the chamfer 2 inches deep at 30...

    Hi I am looking for a router planer, I love to do everything hand held, anything vintage is good, ebay is fine, new is fine too. Something like $150. Thanks
  9. Projects In Progress
    I’ve started building a simple bench top router table. Looking for some guidance here. I was going to install my small trim router here but after second thought will put my bigger router. I’m a weekend warrior so I think this would suit me. Am I overlooking anything with using the Milwaukee...

    I have a Kreg PRS5000 router lift and want to replace the Bosch 1617 currently mounted in my router table with something beefier - in the 3-3.25 hp range. Many of the routers on Kreg's compatibility chart are no longer available. Anyone know of a heavy duty router that the Kreg lift will...
  12. Projects Laptop/Monitor Stand

    I had a request to make a simple stand for a laptop that is being used as a spare monitor. Though it was simple, it took several different operations making it an interesting project. This is what I came up with.

    I got this crazy idea. I'm thinking of using a router to drill 55 dog holes in a piece of 2' X 4' X 3/4" thick MDF. I'd be using a 3/4" straight bit and the lowest speed my Festool 1400 will allow. Stupid? Asking for trouble? Has anyone done this? I know if I use a Forstner bit & portable drill...

    I'll preface this by saying space is at a premium in my shop and I would like a router table. My table saw is a Delta 36-725t2 so I plan to put a router table in place of the aluminum wing on it. I have been looking at a bunch of plans for it. But I have 2 questions. 1) Is there any huge...
  15. JenAire cutting boards

    I made these for an old neighbor some time ago, Cherry, Jatoba, Maple, Walnut and Moradillo, double sliding dovetails on the end boards.
  16. Freehand Router Fun..

    Here's my 3 attempts at making signs. The first one is for a friend's shop. The second is one I made for my house. The third is for another friend who has just completed a "sitting area" behind his house which he calls "Serenity". These were all done with a down spiral 1/4" bit and a 2 1/4 hp...
  17. Stone Inlaid .22 Stock

    I share a shop with a gunsmith - so I guess it was only a matter of time before someone asked for stone inlay in a gun! This .22 came in only partly functional and with a stock that appeared to have been "modified" at some point by someone with more energy than skill. Since it was going to be a...
  18. router table & extension wing for tablesaw

    Router table wing and extension wing for my Ridgid R4511 TS. The wings are made from 2 layers of 3/4" MDF trimmed with some salvaged mahogany trim. I added a router plate, t-track, miter track and safety switch from Rockler. The Formica was given to me by a friend that works in a cabinet shop...
  19. Router Sled on the table saw

    I'm working on a couple of end tables, and I glued up the table tops (16" x 16") a while ago. The tops started to move and warp a little and weren't so flat anymore. I decided to build a router sled the other day to get them perfectly flat. The flattest reference surface I have in my shop is...
  20. #2, Walnut Dining Table

    The story starts here: http://lumberjocks.com/projects/245338 Up to now, my wife, child, and I have been using portable pop-up trays to sit down and eat dinner. Now we have this - I just moved it into the house tonight. Chairs will be project #3 or 4. I'm thinking my wife's vanity might have to...
