Today in the shop (here is a set up you don't see often)

Post by reible »

What a great day! The rains and high humidity/temperatures are gone and it was wonderful to spend almost 8 hours of shop time!

What I thought might be of interest to you is how I was set up today. First check out this picture.

[ATTACH]22824[/ATTACH]

As you can see I have (as viewed from the back side) a jointech router table where I at this point have a 1/16" round over bit installed. The bearing is isolated using a "router workshop" fence. Earlier I had done 1/8" round over using a safety pin, and before that a 3/8" round over also done with the safety pin.

The shopsmith was used for some cross cutting as is shown in this setup. I now almost always go for the Incra gauge for cross cutting rather then the shopsmith one, hadn't really thought about, it just happens. I also did some ripping earlier in the day.

On the left side, again as shown in the picture you can see I had my jointmatic out today.

[ATTACH]22825[/ATTACH]

I was using a 1/8" cutter going 9/32" deep, notches are 5/8" long. This is where the jointmatic is at home. Having it able to mount on the shopsmith saves floor space and makes it nice to use as shown.

[ATTACH]22826[/ATTACH]

The end two cuts are not from the jointmatic, they are from a Ryobi biscuit jointer. I've had this thing a long time and I'm the only one I know that owns one. Anyone else here have one? Note, this not your normal biscuit jointer.

This model cuts 3 sizes of miniature biscuits. I'm set up to use the middle size R2 and here is a picture of just how small these are when compared to a pencil.

Hope this gives you a few new ideas, and hey you can share them here if you want.

Ed

Nice setup and nice work, as always! Your project looks similar to one I recently completed.

Those of us not blessed with vivid imaginations would like to know what you are building. From the pictures you provided would louvered doors for a small cabinet be a reasonable guess? Or based on JPG's comment an earring holder perhaps?

And well it should. You inspired me to make one for my grand daughter who is turning 16. Thanks for that!

It is an Art Deco Earring Chest. I'll most likely post some pictures of the finished project but it has been seen here on the site in a different wood.

If you are interested in plans they are from woodwokersjournal WJC135 for $1.00.

The jointer pictured is the DBJ50. So someone here does have one.
