Alaska Vacation Puzzle Table

On my recent trip to Juneau, AK to see my new granddaughter and perform some sitting while they worked, I packed my Kreg Jig for the flight. My son wanted a collapsible table to build puzzles on. Using his specs and some drawings, and the very basic of tools, I put this together. 1x2 hemlock and a 3/8" 4x4 piece of plywood from The Home Depot, a mitre box and back saw from Walmart, and a few sundries (wood glue, speed square, carpenter pencils, etc.) I used a couple plastic sawhorses, hand-sawed the 1x2's to length and Kreg-Jigged the joints. All in all, project was what my son wanted (even unfinished wood). Glad the weather was nice for a few consecutive days.

Comment by Ron Cryderman on July 31, 2013 at 9:41pm: 40" wide, 30" deep, 30" front legs, 32" back legs. I think I should have made a 4 to 6" drop for a more slanted surface. You would need a felt or flannel surface to prevent pieces sliding off. Good luck Becky.

Free Hand Guard (dust collection)

Hi. I'm wondering if anyone has used the Woodpecker Free Hand Guard for dust collection on their bench top router table during pattern routing. How effective is it? It's adaptable to any router table. Continue
