Ok, I admit it. I don’t just do woodwork. I also like playing with photography, and have a ham radio license (KC8MNS). It’s the latter that got me in trouble – because coupled with my professional background as a software systems architect (computer programmer) and the love of building stuff, even with electronics, I was ripe for the picking…

Dedicated Sharpening Bench

A dedicated sharpening station. A place for the tormek, the granite plate and the saw vise. All the sharpening gear and all the metal shavings in one place! What’s not on the plan is a set of lifting casters I plan to attach to the base to allow the bench to roll around the workshop so it’s near where I’m working.

It’s based on images I found on lumberjocks.com – http://lumberjocks.com/projects/93228 

My sketchup model can be found here.

The excellent model of the Tormek T-7 is from Peter Gee in the 3dWarehouse – it can be found here.

Router Cabinet Rebuild

A rebuild plan for the router cabinet that makes up the tablesaw unit I have rolling around my shop. The original plan has single bottom shelf, and a baffled section for the router. The dust collection in the baffle section never worked well, and I really wanted to take advantage of the space more efficiently. Here’s the plan – in progress 🙂

    It would be polite to thank the originators of your “drawing”. Or did you also create the Tormek you use in your “drawing”?

      Your right! I just assumed that the credits in the drawing would cover it. I’ve added the explicit thanks, and a pointer directly to your warehouse model. Thanks again for contributing that drawing to the warehouse – it makes everyone’s life so much easier when we share like this.
