The issue with this specific one is that it looks like it is hydro-formed plywood possibly on the base, which you need an industrial press to do.

But a floating table in general isn’t that complicated. You could do it!

Though I will say I really like these guy’s plans. I’ve built a couple of things from them, and the aesthetic feels similar to what you are looking for.

I believe you can build a form (eg 1x1s across two pieces of appropriately cut plywood in the shape of the curve). Then cut thin laminations of whatever hardwood (eg 1:8th or 1/16th) , then bend and glue together layers of the laminations over the form. A vacuum bag or ratchet clamps to hold the laminations down

Thanks!

Whats the next project you want to take on?

PSA: Jet and Powermatic are having supply chain issues. Ordered a jet dust collector in March with an April delivery date. Woodcraft has pushed it back every month and their current best estimate is July 7th (though they are still advertising a June ship date). Just keep that in mind if you have any sense of immediacy around your purchasing needs.

Does anyone use SketchUp? Thoughts? Advice?

Wanted to share some advice for anyone looking at track saws. I just bought the bare WEN 6.5” unit ($145.29) and paired it with the Powertec guide rail set ($119.89) and came away with a solid setup at a (comparatively) cheap price ($265).

I was considering the Makita ($585) or Dewalt ($790) setups since those are my normal go-to brands, but couldn’t stomach the cost.

Highly recommend it!

Careful gang, I lucked out and my reflexes are faster than I realized. Half the nail is gone and the tip took a haircut. Fortunately I had gorilla glue nearby, but probably should have gotten stitches...

Anyone here own a saw stop PCS or a Powermatic PM2000? Ive been setting aside money in my woodworking slush fund for a good cabinet saw to replace my contractor saw, and I’m intrigued by the SS’s hotdog sensing technology. Eager to hear opinions from anyone who owns one of the two saws.
