Hope you are not holding anything liquid above your keyboard right now: I guess you are already sitting down! I have a new addition for the shed (although it won’t be a permanent setup, but one bought in when required): Bet you never saw that coming! I was putting the table together today, and was [...]

It’s never the big parts of a job that take the time, it is all the fiddly bits at the end! Same applies to finishing off the router table, but when you are not in a rush, that time is not wasted or regretted. With “The Wire” playing on the Shed’s TV, I kept plodding [...]

Went ahead with the plan to re-establish a separate router table, and using the Incra Router Table stand as the base. Step one was putting the base together. It comes in a pretty compact form. Lots of screws! I also decided to get the optional wheel kit. Typical of Incra, the basis for the router [...]

I’m sitting here at 3 in the morning (the only time of the day I have time to think for myself!) contemplating the practicalities of shed layout. I keep asking myself why does this question keep cropping up (especially when I could be doing something more productive like a project (or at 3am like sleeping!)), [...]

And another. I often find myself looking back, and seeing just how many decisions and events that lead to others, the culmination of which leads to the present moment/situation etc. For example, after completing a degree in Engineering (Mechanical) at Auckland University, I decided for a range of obscure reasons (and some not as obscure) [...]

Ever tried setting up your router table with a steel rule? I’ve done it tonnes of times, and it is a compromise situation. If you have a split fence, it is a right pain even finding the fence zero point with a basic steel rule. If the fence is solid, you still have to ensure [...]

Some more views of the Torque, now that it is all assembled and functional. Looking forward to a chance to really start putting the machine through its paces, but even the first 2 jobs (both for the recent toy kitchens), had me approaching traditional problems from a brand new direction (and no, that isn’t a [...]

The UniLift precisely controls the height of your router bit, and by using a rule, or digital height scale you can get the height set very accurately, and also to change from one to the next. To take it to the next level, you can also fit a digital height gauge with remote readout directly [...]

When I first came across the Woodpeckers Router Lift, I had 2 thoughts – a really visually appealing piece of engineering, and not something that would be particularly useful for owners of a Triton Router (given its built-in geared height adjustment, and particularly the microadjuster). Times, and opinions change. What really bought my attention back [...]

When I was first setting up my workshop (slowly, over time), I got to the point of deciding between a router table (something I’d never experienced, or knew what it was really for), or a drill press (sounded a bit boring). I was relying on Triton Orange products to know what to get, not knowing [...]

Some ways back, I mentioned that my original router table top (an old laminated style now discontinued by Professional Woodworkers Supplies) had been decommissioned, and it was looking for a new home. By the time I had finished with it (and the new table was starting to come together), that potential home had disappeared so [...]

It’s crunch time. With the router table that is. I spent some time yesterday getting the table together properly, drilling the final holes to join each wing together (some holes were missing – fell out in transit). It didn’t go well. The machined plate (the one I had with the insert hole cut out) had [...]
