I have the need for a Drill Press Table larger than the usual table supplied, so I set about checking out many ideas via the
Woodwork Forum and
Google. I settled on using 25mm Melamine for the table and fence,
T-track and
hold downs from
McJings . As can be seen in the photo of the rear of the fence I have left a tail of T-track overhanging, this is so the lock down for the fence will not reduce the amount of table. I have to make the fence lock downs brackets. Then I only need to secure the T-track and seal the edging and its finished, when it stops raining long enough it shall be done.
I was able to pick up some FREE 18mm MDF sheet 1800x1000 from another Woodwork forumite (thanks Scott & Geoff). I had cut it to size using my Triton Mk3 but it needs a major tune up to be square. Alan came to the rescue and completed the Cabinet the back is 6mm ply, mitred corners with a biscuit, while the over hang edge is rebated.
The overhang will house my square and hacksaws, 80mm wheels fitted. Again Alan many thanks. Missed it again the photo opportunity, a man in a tie and office attire doing woodwork. Have not seen that since I was a young lad. I only need to now coat and seal it. At a later stage draws will be fitted.
These are for a friends mum who suffers from cold feet, she lives in South Australia. Kev her son lives in Katherine and has a Malamute or two now, grooming them is an endless task. Their fur however is sort after as a medium for its warmth.
