Hi Roger
Yes. I'm currently reading through the book ... actually now haha
good basic stuff. I agree.

A tool update:
I have a REALLY big work table on one side of the building that is HEAVY. It has been there since the build of the shop, but the plywood top is really rough and dinged heavily with years of use.

What I did, was make a 2x2 station on one end.
Basically I realize there will be different items that will need to be eventually, some way.. attached to the table, but I cant easily get UNDER or AROUND it, and there isn't a clamping edge.

SO what I did was take a long 3/4 thick by 2" wide strip and cut it so that I had "fences" that a 3/4 2x2 will slip in and out of. There are 2 sides and a back that are attached to the table.

This way I can affix whatever jigs / tools I need to seperate 2x2 ply boards and simply slip them in and out of the fence to keep them from twisting.



Again thank you for all your advice on this first build.
I don't even HAVE the kit yet... but I've decided on an OM build.
