I've moved to a new house. While I was trying to manage 1/2 of a garage for my workspace, I'll now have a full detached outside building behind the house, with a separate drive. Here's a view of the shop from the patio (I know, I've got to trim those plants). From this view, the shop has a garage door on the right side.
My Ridgid R4512 table saw is one of the best tool purchases I've made. However, the included miter gauge is a no-frills piece of equipment. It's sturdy and does what it's supposed to do I suppose, but I had been seeing the Incra Miter gauge on multiple videos, and decided that's what I needed....which is the latest addition to my arsenal.
Perhaps the best and most basic function of the Incra, is how precise it is. It has a fence that will extend all the way to 31 inches. It includes a flip up fence stop, etc. I'll stop right there, as you can click the picture and read the features right off the box. I love how they claim that the Incra makes "devastatingly accurate miter cuts".
I have a table sled, but this just about eliminates any need for it. I haven't tried to make a picture frame using this yet, but I don't think the corner angles will be an issue.
I put together this"California Patio Side Table" from the Weekend Woodworker coarse. Steve makes his plans so easy to follow, that I really didn't need any experience at all to finish this table. I don't have much else to say, as I'm really not sure what I'll use this for. I haven't decided yet whether to paint or stain it.
I can't for the life of me remember the channel I was watching on Youtube that inspired me to make this box. I'm sure there are multiple videos on Youtube that showcase this type of tool box. But, it's a Japanese inspired box, with an open/close process that would be very tricky for the unfamiliar person.
Many will recognize this project from the Weekend Woodworker. If I were to sum this up, it's a lot of gluing, clamping and most of all sanding...lot's of sanding.
This antique bed was bought at a yard sale. The color was so unique, I didn't want to paint it. I didn't want it in one of our bedrooms either, as it just wouldn't match anything. So I converted it into this bench, as this seems to be a trendy thing over the past few years.
