Thanks Ken.<br />
<br />
I have suspended a power cord from the ceiling over the workbench, one less this to trip over. I'm not sure if it will get in the way when I'm working on bigger projects or not.<br />
<br />
Off to go make some bench dogs.<br />

<p>Onno,</p>
<p>I like your work top---very nice.</p>
<p>Some very useful features, you have incorporated.</p>
<p>Looks like you've got everything pretty much covered, in your new work bench.</p>
<p></p>
<p>The elongated slots, will sure come in handy, when using articulated clamping.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Outlet strips?</p>
<p>One can never have too many outlet strips.</p>
<p>When having access, on all 4 sides of the bench, I prefer an outlet strip on each side.</p>

<p>Time for an update!</p>

<p>The next part of the workshop that I wanted to tackle was a workbench. I couldn't decide on a size or style of workbench for a while and after deliberating I settled on an assembly table design from ShopNotes with a few minor changes.

<p>The next part of the workshop that I wanted to tackle was a workbench. I couldn't decide on a size or style of workbench for a while and after deliberating I settled on an assembly table design from ShopNotes with a few minor changes. I altered the plans to make the work surface larger and extended one end to accommodate a face vice and wrapped the edge in hardwood. I also increased the height so it matched the tablesaw, this allows it to be used as an in-feed support for large or long work pieces. I adjusted the height without changing the height of the shelf underneath. This made for roomier access to the top shelf where I plan to keep frequently used power tools. There is a power strip mounted under the table so hopefully there will be a lot less power cords strewn across the floor. </p>
<p>The slots in the table top are designed to allow easier clamping and the dog holes will be used for various accessories I still need to buy. Some of the ones I am thinking of are; </p>

<p>I'm sure there are lots of ideas over at Rockler as well.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Now for some pics of the table itself.</p>

<p></p>
<p>Below you can see the power strip, I may need to cut some of the support block for the vise to get this strip in a bit further... or get a smaller power bar.</p>

<p>My first try at making a face vise.</p>

<p></p>
<p>Now to start planning the next part... hmmm.. either the tablesaw make over or centralized dust collection. I guess it will depend on quickly I get tired of shleping the shopvac around to every tool.</p>
<p></p>

<p>I worked on The Drill press station over the past couple of days and am almost done. I need to pick up some star knobs and add in some T track to the fence. I also need to make a small accessory drawer for below the table. This design of table has replaceable inserts and a dust collection system so I am looking forward to using it.</p>

<p></p>
<p>And then I made a new table from plans out of ShopNotes.</p>

<p></p>
<p>A closer look. I made 10 replacement inserts right away as I had a scrap piece of 1/2" MDF anyways. Otherwise when it comes time for a new one I would be scrambling. I will make custom inserts for different sizes of Drum sanders. The dust collection hose connects on the left side below the table and draws from a recess below the insert. I still need to finish a basic insert that has slots cut out for allowing air and dust movement.</p>

Hello Gary,<br />
No, the saw shelf is supported on a pair of hardwood runners. There are swing out brackets that help support the weight of the saw, but also lock it in place so it stays in alignment with the fences.<br />

<p>I have made some progress, but have not posted much lately. Here are a couple of shots of the new wall bench with miter saw station. The benches have flip out fences that align with the saw when needed. when not needed the fences tuck under the benches and the saw slides back providing more space. the small bench on the right is the same height as the table saw and will provide for additional support when needed.…</p>

<p>And here open for business.</p>
<p></p>
<p>I have now begun on the drill press stand and auxiliary table / fence system. It is mostly made from scrap so it won't be real pretty, but functional.</p>
