Shop Time w/T.W. Friends. Where is your wallet…..poll

For my fellow GenX'rs. A friend sent me this.

The other two painted... turns out my Home Depot doesn't carry the clear buckets but that's ok

 

My original router sled from a few years ago.. maximum height was only 2.5 inches.



Rather than build a whole new sled for thicker material, I made an insert.



Now maximum height is 5.5 inches!

 

Way to think outside inside the box

 

Now that you have that done, what else can we spend your money on

 

Definitely an interesting thing to say to a person on the internet

 

I'm learning from you!

 

Made another upgrade to the router sled, but it didn't work as well as I had hoped... I may need to offset the suction to the side.

 

Making early 60’s connections on the restoration

 

My 10 inch band saw has a height limit of 4 ⅞ and my drum sander has a 4 inch height limit. My planer has a 12 inch width limit so I had to use the router sled to slim this down about an inch and a quarter.



Now it's slim enough to go into the bandsaw to narrow it up.

 

Nice! What you making?

 

Just saving the good wood that was in the trash pile.

 

@wilcam47 if you had any doubt about the Dustopper lid... this should ease your mind.
This is the first half bucket from the router sled and not a spec of dust in the Shop Vac. Note that these are big chips from the router bit and fine dust from sanding etc will likely make it to the Shop Vac.

 

Good morning shop crew, have a great and blessed Tuesday.

 

Good morning and Happy Tuesday everyone
