I have had other things going on like job quotes and new Shopsmith toys
, but the cabinets are going together slowly. I have started to temporarily assemble them as they are laminated. They are upside down because the toe kick or base area has to have a wire chase built in. We will get to that next week.

Sorry for the lag time between post but I have been busy. I have dissembled the set up to finish the laminating.

Lights and sliding mirror doors

The next step is to prep the cabinets for lights. I will temporally install one to check fit. Much of the finish work will be done on the job sight. I have cleaned all glue over spray in the shop, but will have to clean all laminate and glass of dust and smears as it is installed. Any cleaning in that area done in the shop is wasted time.

What equipment I have, I have had for many years and yet I never cease to learn new ways to put it to use.
I just spotted your router table mounted on a power station for the base. This will be ideal for those weekends when I'm asked "Why don't you come over for a back yard barbecue and oh ya bring your wood working equipment".
Again, this thread has been very informative. I very much appreciate all that you have presented here. Both projects have been very enlightening. Thank you.

I call it my power/router/sander. I had to cut 6 inches off of the mounting tubes to get it close to the sanding disc but it still works fine on the SS.

It is a very handy tool!:)

Good Eye Dusty! I noticed it but did NOT recognize it as a POWER STATION!
Ditto EVERYTHING Dusty said above!

Now I gotta spend for a replacement miter track. I cannibalized the router table of its miter track to build my outfeed table. Now I gotta put it back and I can not give up the one on the outfeed table.
