X Base Square Farmhouse Dining Table
After building the micro shop and due to COVID-19 had to place wood working into pause. Now I have dedicated some space as workshop and started again. I’m building a farmhouse table using this as guide. Started by building the base with 2×4 and 4×4 pressure treated pine. Did a pre-stain with Minwax Dark Walnut.…
Microshop: Day 7
Continued to work on the sander. Made the assembly to hold the sanding disc, the base for the drill, the bench and some custom threaded pins. Had to improvise since I flipped the sander side when I made the body of the workbench. Now the drill base will be taller. Also the sander bench and…
Microshop: Day 6

Lot of measurements, and alingment to make it as straight as I could. Almost finished it , but after 8 hours…
Microshop: Day 2
I continued making the remaining parts to assemble the bench body. Some were more challenging since they required perfect circles. I followed the One Minute Workbench advice for making circles with the router (see video embedded at the bottom of this post). Had great results! A friend suggested to give a coat of sanding sealer…
Microshop Project
I have been doing woodwork projects using some basic tools drill, circular saw, jacksaw, etc. Now I want to build a custom workbench with a bench saw, drillpress, table router, and some other tools. The bench also needs to be small, since I have limited space to work. I think I found what I want…
