Looks Good. I like the colors. What are the rails made out of?

Thanks, rails are two layers of 5/4 x 14" Finger Joint White Pine, ripped to 5", laminated together and straight lined on the beam saw. However, I made them 4-1/4" tall not thinking about the limit of the carriage. Had to route away a quarter on the bottom for clearance. The table is 1/2" mdf top and bottom and 3/4" mdf for the grid. The grid was half lapped on a radial arm with a dado set. It went together pretty quickly. The legs took a while though.

Well, I cheated. I have a shop full of tools and since I’m the boss, I have time to work on what I want. Only advantage of getting older.

I wanted it to look like something I bought. I’m building a new shop and it will be right beside the office.

If it’s that beautiful now, can’t wait to see what it looks like finished! Looks awesome!

Amazing work…

What a great table build!

I am a little jealous of the shop too.

Very Nice! I’m jealous of all your shop space!

Sweet! Hopefully they were off cuts of the restroom dividers…

Your minions wear red? I need to get me some of them.

Awesome pics and videos, makes me want to clean up the “dirty” side of my shop.

The phenolic sheet was indeed a USED bathroom divider about 5’ x 5’. Amazon has a 4’ x 4’ x 1/2" sheet for $864.00. I did clean it multiple times before even handling it. LOL. I planed a piece down to 1/4" for the 611 plate. Very rigid.

I know you cleaned it, but did you save any phone numbers? Jokes?

Awesome job, like a previous poster noted - I too envy your shop! Thanks for sharing!
