Great table! I like everything about it, very nice work.

Hi Joe,
I went for a refill at my usual CO2 place -- AirGas? ProGas? ... an industrial gas place with a name like that -- I asked about it and he basically said here you go and traded tanks. ...
Joe, do you prime your kegs with sugar too, or force carbonate? I like force carbonating... beer is ready to drink later that day! Hey, why wait? Plus, shaking a 5 gallon keg around is good exercise...
Jim,
Some folks here have said that the Pittsburg knockoff is a decent clamp. I haven't tried them myself, but noticed the other day the 12" clamps were on sale for $15.99, FWIW:

Thanks for that Charles. I just set up and used my EC261 set a couple weeks ago for the first time and had a pile of shims to sort out. Trial and error when mounting and unmounting stacked shaper...
Hi Wes,
You can make a lot of drawers quickly in plywood with a lock miter cutter. But I'm sure the same is true with the drawer lock.

Sometimes it's hard to avoid the outlets, but they can be dealt with. I fashioned a simple block and used a box extender to bring the outlet out a bit. It wasn't hard to do, and I think it looks...
Great looking work, you should be proud!
Congrats!
FWIW, the soft side padding is no longer recommended...

Hi Jim
Yes, that's an older Reliant 3HP shaper w/ a Delta fence and baby stock feeder. I love the feeder and wouldn't be without it. It's especially helpful when running stock vertically and makes...

I wonder if you have any tips on the process and what you might do differently.

Yeah, it looks pretty useful, but darn! I paid $11.99 on clearance!
No, actually both ends of the drawer fronts and backs are run through horizontally and both ends of the sides are run vertically.
This accomplishes two things: the mechanical strength of the...
John, thanks for the setup tutorial... nice and concise. I've made some nice joints in hardwood like you show in your photo and they definitely come out cleaner; this was my first attempt with...
The slides were my first Outwater order, and I learned about them here (thanks!). Saved me a lot of money and I received them the next day. Their catalog is amazing! I went page by page through it...
Thanks again for all the comments.

They're Dynaslides (Accuride knockoffs) from Outwater. Very smooth and the price is right.

Hi Ed, thanks for the comments too.
Yeah, I'm familiar with the drawer lock bit and I agree that it is the bit of choice, but I have only the miter lock bit, so I thought I'd give it a try.
...
Thanks for the comments Phil. I thought (after I had perpetrated all the tearout) that I should have just scored a line w/ a long straightedge and razor knife and that probably would have done it. ...
There's notable tearout on the drawer sides. These will not be museum quality drawers, I can tell. But they really weren't meant to be, so onward we go.
