Made on my router table with a 10mm core box bit, slowly moving the fence 10mm at a time.

Thanks Derek, lucky for me the wife likes the handles. If I ever make one for you I will omit the racing stripes... noted. Cheers, Ben

Thanks. It won't be carried around so no padding needed :-)
Just glued the handles on and will be final sanding and wipe on poly this weekend.
It has been a bit more than a weekender, that's for...

It's been a while since I last worked on the studio pencil case, but have had some time to finish it off this week. I made the pencil trays and laminated some birds eye maple and Purple Heart to make...

I had to wait for a rebate bit to turn up from my friendly carbitool dealer in canberra, then I cut a rebate into the inside base of each, drawer, and cut a 4mm ply floor for each drawer, need to...

A little sanding and the some runs over the table saw to cut the drawers to height. To say I am happy would be an understatement. This is starting to really take shape and the red cedar contrasts...

Well, I can +1 the Kreg, it's good. The cast iron tables turned me off because I couldnt use the winder handle above the table on my Triton, something to keep in mind.

Next I resawed some western red cedar because I wanted some 6mm contrasting timber for the drawers.

I was lucky enough to find a Kreg router table on Gumtree, the previous owner already build dust collection under the cabinet.
It is a well built table, mine also has the wheels, I have installed a...

Today I glued and nailed in the shelves

ran it over the router table with a 1/2" round over bit.

Gave it a quick sand with 240 grit on the random orbital sander and then...

Final internal coats of mini wax wipe on poly done. I kept it light and sanded with 800 in between coats. I also masked off where the shelves are glued.

I have started applying the mini wax wipe on poly to the inside of my box and the shelves. Starting to look good!

happy to help. I am in Kempsey tonight, and will leave for Sydney in the morning with 5 empty seats, happy to fill them with something.

Its ts a regular run for me, so hit me up anytime.

Rarely in Melbourne. My plane is based at Bankstown, so regularly head up to Kempsey from there.

if you get to Sydney, you can always jump in.

Cheers
Ben

Hey gang.
I am flying from Bankstown airport on Friday July 1 to Grafton, then from Grafton to Kempsey. Then on Saturday I will be flying back to Bankstown from Kempsey.
I am in a small plane so...

Great saw for the money. I have the 7491, it takes a dado set, and has a few other features, but otherwise very similar, the fence is accurate, I love it.

Ben

Thanks Rob. I am nervous about this resawing business, but excited at the same time.
Lunch was great and got the mini wax wipe on poly whilst I was out.

Final step for this morning was to glue the back in, and I had to joint a couple of peices so I had 4 drawer support shelves.

Did someone say you can never have too many clamps? I am...

Then I swapped out to my new cross cutting blade, this blade is awesome! Such a clean cut.

And i I cut the back piece and the drawer support shelves to width.

Stage 2 update...

now the box itself is dry, I need to cut a piece for the back of the box and the shelf supports. Once again I had to use the Thicknesser to reduce the 19mm pine to 12mm.

Hey Rob,
thanks heaps for your help. I will get some mini wax and give that a go as I build. That will make it easier. I am going to attempt to Resaw my cedar, it's 13mm and I need 6mm, hopefully my...

hi Rob. Not sure what you mean by 'Resaw' - I am a newbie to woodworking, I just cut each piece for my box from one length of premium pine, making sure I cut it the right order so the grain was...

Pretty happy with it, I like how the grain runs continuously around the box.

now for the glue up.

to be continued.....

After watching David Stanton on YouTube make a studio pencil box, I decided to have a go myself and make one for my wife.

I started with some19mm premium pine, and had to thickness it to 12mm.

Really, you're paying $1000 insurance for your fingers. The fence on the SS is awesome too, I read somewhere the motor is not as powerful as the Dewalt when I was doing my research.

The sawstop...

I have a 2" hose going from the Dewalts bottom extraction into a cyclone I got off eBay for $35, I run this with my 20L Ryobi shop vac and it works like a charm, as for the top extraction, I haven't...

Having just compared these saws myself, I completely agree with FEncefurniture re the Matabo, the fence is flimsy and is what turned me away straight away. I have the Dewalt 7491, my reason for...

I went through this same struggle so I know what you're going through. I don't have the space for a cabinet saw plus I wanted to stretch the budget. I would take a look at the dewalt if I were you, I...

Today I decided to make a clamp storage cabinet out of an old melamine pantry we no longer use.

Everything in in my workshop rusts unless I cover it. So I wanted somewhere for my clamps to live. ...

Hi tony. I recently made a cabinet for my drill press and bench grinder out of 12mm ply and it worked fine. The biggest issue I had was finding screws to mount drawer slides that wouldn't be too...

The only problem I find with CT is I try to give them my money but they don't seem to keep a lot in stock, I think they're running on a very tight stock ordering system, it is quite frustrating when...

Hi Gang, I decided to ring Bunnings to ask about the bandsaw. I rang 3 stores, first one said no stock, 2nd store said they had 3 in stock and could sell one to me for $249, actually thought I was...

I am new to the world of woodworking but have a kreg router table and used the Rockler box jig with a spiral upcut bit with great results.

Hi, I have always liked making and fixing stuff, recently discovered I like woodworking!
Thank goodness for this forum and YouTube, I have learnt a few tricks and have made a cabinet for my drill...

Nice sled, I have the same saw and was wondering if I could build a sled.
Can I ask the total cost to make your sled, I have been thinking about an incra mitre but a sled would be better.

I have the DW 7491 and it has handled everything with ease so far. It is a great option for smaller spaces. I don't have a lot of room and wanted something decent around the $1k mark. As for the...

Hey gang. Thought you might like to know Masters have 20% off triton gear. Not sure if it's in store but if you buy online and collect you get the deal.
