Nice shape on that, beautiful grain as well.

You can use the 12/2 for your circuit.

the 240 volt line what amperage do you want? I personally would not want to run any less than 12 gauge so I'd run 12/3. Even if your tool doesn't need a separate neutral something in future might.

I have the same problem with my Delta planer. The dust shroud doesn't let the out feed table fold up. I made this flip-top stand many years ago and it is very sturdy. It gets moved around all the time.

Looks better than if "it came from a factory." And it's exactly what they wanted, not the least of necessary evils.

I use a 7 gallon (premium Walmart model ) with my brad nailer and 2" brads just for that. I charge mine to 120# (about as high as I can get it0 and it drives an amazing number of brads before getting to low to continue...plus you don't have the noisy compressor in the house. Since my tank only cost $10-$12 quite some time ago, I think it's one of the better value tools I've bought. I put a QD on it and use a 15' long 1/4" hose. Really handy.

Po-ta-to, po-tot-o. Espresso, black. Whatever you like best. Black would be more timeless, but really, most kitchens get gutted every 20 - 30 years so you aren't making a once in a lifetime decision. Pick whichever you like best.

You didn't say anything about the topcoat, but you might want to consider GF's Enduro Clear Poly. It works great over their milk paint and is dead clear and will stay that way, so it won't get a yellow hue down the road. Personally, I would go with flat or satin sheen, probably satin considering the dog.

Assuming they used tempered glass for this?

Isn't the Jet/Tormek clone only ~90RPM? I think that the CBN wheels were meant for much higher speeds (i.e. the 1750 RPMs that your Rikon runs at).

Looks handy, but I would think it's for someone who needs portability.

I do like the look of the router table.

I use Watco on my walking sticks. I apply another coat each time I replace the rubber tip. It does not seem to get much film build though.

I waited 24 hours after applying the stain before applying the Danish Oil. I don't know if that is really required but it worked fine and I feel safe recommending it. Light coats of the oil dry overnight, but a heavy coat (nearly dripping in oil) will take a couple of days. Stick with the light coats. I used a rag to apply the light coats and a foam brush for the heavy one. With the light coat is is like wiping down the barrel of your rifle with gun oil. A simple wipe with a cloth wet with the Watco.

For my walking sticks I only ever put on a light coat. I must have eight or 10 coats on it by now and it does not seem to have built up the film thickness. I think it is fine for things that don't get much abuse, but if it is like my walking sticks then you need to apply frequently. (Beating the neighbors with my walking stick takes a toll on the finish. )
