Ken, I know Im getting beat up  over the stickers but theyre like 1/256". All materilsl I have passed through have not gotten caught on it and all cuts are reading what they are supposed to with a Starrett six inch combo. The sticker is 12' away from the cutter head anyway. The color scheme is  Eek!, I think it will make me more creative. I would love to see some pics of your recent build, Eric

Dave and Seth both demanded a higher level of inner drawer organization; and rightfully so! Here is the first task. I had a shop set and a boxvan set until the boxvan set case was in two pieces. Decided to switch them out and put this one in the open drawer on the router table. Didnt have a forstner bit for each side so had to make do.

Dave, sorry about the shadows, i didnt have a skinny pen! Eric

Man I like that fence! What router is in there btw?


That Incra fence is awesome. After using it I would not want anything else unless something new  and better comes along.

The clock?,

Right, but it only gives time for the time zone in Germany.   Cool

It will run off the drill batteries, car charger and wall charger.....................   oh wait , that's the Syslite.  Huh?

BTW, I like the stickers, they look sharp. You can always scrape them off if they cause trouble.

Funny Seth, but we're on the same wavelength.  All I use are the plastic shims when possible and I've had the 26" square since its inception.  Also have the 18" triangle, but that 26" is great for guide rails and sheet goods along with my 50 1/2" / 1282mm rule.  I might add some extra bracing to that tower.

I'm emotionally disturbed to think of your table having a Triton under the hood ... it goes against the natural order of things  Eek!

Triton? That's that buck toothed ugly distant cousin nobody wants to admit is part of the family here! You would find Triton sold here at Bunnings, which is the Australian hardware discount "superstore".

I got a pair of Triton Multistands through  Festool Junkie years ago. They are the most amazing concept for assisting with unwieldy pieces that hang off you regular supports. Problem is the hardware was all shot after the first couple of uses. Timmy C sent me two new ones and told me to keep the extras, so I now have four, three have c clamps that have to be tightened with a screw driver rather then by hand. The top also could not sit parallel with the floor unless  some grinding was done??? Still great design when you need something like that, Eric

That pretty much sums up most of the Triton inventions (and to a large extent Australian inventions). Very clever in initial concept, but a lack of serious commercialisation ... normally done on the cheap ... followed by a lack of product evolution, quality control and management.

I had one of the early Triton saw tables. Back then having a saw table you could dismantle and could power with a hand tool was a genuine innovation. Then I got the stand alone router table - junk, the table saw extension - more junk, superjaws - mixed thoughts on that.

Then mother nature decides to have her say and the painted surfaces start to bubble and the various pieces rust and corrode ... because it's all made cheaply.

Australian inventors and craftsmen are some of the best and brightest in the world - but there's something that's just not right when it turns into a serious commercial concern.  A few products have defied the voodoo. But just to finish them off we've made it very attractive for everything to be manufactured offshore  Crying

Very nice table this is, if i had the space i would certainly make something similar. the limited travel of my router table fence is sometimes limiting.
Actually your giving me ideas of combining such a wide router table with a roll around workbench, though i would personally be more subtle with the green  Tongue Out

well maybe not if i could actually find a green that is close enough to the real deal!
