Workbench

Rebuilding to make more room.

Bench will be 2'x12'. A 2' gap near the middle for tools (miter, scroll & router). 4' on one side, 6' on the other. I'm going to stick with the shelf design and keep the placement, It's good for setting down tools. I'm not going to do the lower shelf though.

I want to try some basic joinery on this. For the top, I'm going to cut a 1.5" x 1.75" cube out of each piece of the corner so that the leg slots in.

Features

Drill holsters: I want a spot for the 3 drills and the impact driver where I can just grab them (and put them back).

I'm leaving the front brace off the tool gap, so I need a different way to fit in leaves. I'll run the brace behind it, but I'm going to leave a 1" gap on the rails. So leaves will actually need to be 26" wide.

Router Fence

I was going to get pretty complex on this, but now I think not. Two grooves, much like before, but this time, nothing running perpendicular. In each groove there will be a screw with a wingnut to tighten it, and a piece of wood to keep it straight. The hex of the bolt will slot into the end of the piece of wood to keep it from turning. And I'll cut a hole for the vacuum.

If I ever build another (or help someone), build this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?annotation_id=annotation_402348&feature=iv&src_vid=KnNi6Tpp-ac&v=Bt77_jugVZs
