    Steven,
    Another ex-machinist at SMC! When it comes to wood working, I find it to be a blessing and a curse. Judging by your spectacular router cabinet, you do to! Beautiful work and the 650 ain’t to shabby either, congrats!

    How many hours do you have in the cabinet?
    Please help support the Creek.

    Great gloat on all counts. (And thanks for the link to extra pics.) I sure could use a cabinet like that...and a saw like that, too. I'm guessing you'll have lots of fun with both of them.

    Steven---Looks like you now have at least two first rate pieces of equipment. The brick red paint looks good, I find it difficult to make BB look good with stain or dye.

    Steven in picture 6 you show a drawer that is almost like a cutting board. What do you use it for?

    Cutting board - purpose

    I use the shelf that appears to be a cutting board to lay my drawing or sometimes I write up a numbered list of the procedure/router cuts in the order I need to make them.

    Bruce, too many hours to admit to :-)

    I spent most of a week of vacation in the garage, machining the cabinet. After 16 hours on a plane returning from a business trip in Brazil the week before, I had a lot of pent up energy so I started the cabinet and just kept going.

    WOW! Now, I am even more impressed by your design and your work. What a great "first project".
