I was finally able to get back into the wood shop for a few hours last weekend. Mrs Inor wanted a picture frame to match the kitchen cabinets for a while, so I thought that would be a good small project to tackle for my first project after the ankle.
I am pretty pleased with how it turned out. But even more important, I was finally able to get the fence finished for my new router table and try it on a real project for the first time! It worked better than I even hoped. Being able to set the cut depth and being able to change bits from the top is a HUGE time saver and makes it much easier to set the depth accurately. All-in-all, I am very happy to be back making sawdust!
Hawg: In case you were wondering how the varnish for your table is going to age... Both the frame and the cabinet it is hanging on are both Red Oak and both finished with the same General American varnish. The cabinet was finished 4 years ago (to the exact week) and the frame got the last coat this morning. Personally, I think it looks better each year.
