Boston WWing show 2009

A few chat room/forum regulars at thewoodwhisperer.com got together at our local woodworking show this weekend. Rob Bois sent me this great picture and a brief synopsis.

“Four of us TWW regs ended up meeting up in person for the first time at the Boston Woodworking show yesterday. From left to right in the attached picture, Lance (Charger), Rob (Bois), Andy (AndyFew), and Dave (Rustic Joy) all made the trip. It was a good time, and most of us made some great purchases (except for Charger who spent more time trying to reverse engineer everything in his head). I think special credit goes to Dave who just came back from serving in Korea, and who had to drive back to the Kansas immediately following the show (although, I was a bit concerned that as a forward observer in the US Army he still got lost on his way to the WW show even though he had a GPS). Bois was a bit disapointed though that not a single person in the crowd commented on his Schwarz tee shirt (except me of course). Clearly a Normite-heavy mix at the show!”

Thanks for Rob Bois for writing all that, and I switched some of the words around :)

Routertable Part 1

So I've decided to fill you all in on what little has been happening. The major thing as of now is the building of my router table extension wing for my table saw. Construction is very simple, the top is two pieces of 3/4" ply glued and screwed together. This will soon receive lamination upon my receiving of a router base plate from my friend Stan_MT. The base/ apron is just some pine 1"x3". I will post again soon and hopefully have some video to truly show how this is made.
the following pictures shoe the piece of laminate, the router table as it is with my new The Wood Whisperer mug, and where it will be, once completed.
