Comment by Steve Gronsky on February 6, 2010 at 10:34pm: Well, I had some "family" type things to do for a few days. I finally got back to my project today. It is stained, polyurethaned, assembled, and has moved into our home. This was my first pocket hole joinery project and the second will start in a couple days. I must get to the lumber yard to pick up material for the "face frame". I have enough left over plywood from this one to complete another. I plan to modify the dimensions on the new one just a bit so that it will fit into a "nook" in the kitchen.

To the veterans out there -- Do you recommend staining, sanding, and poly BEFORE or after assembling? I think it will be easier to sand and stain while in small pieces, rather than after putting it together. This would be especially true for the corners. And I think one can eliminate "runs" in the poly by doing everything while flat.

Suggestions and comments are more than welcome, please.

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
