Yeah. That looks great. If nice to have red that isn’t super bright sometimes. I bet it looks better in person too, because of the reflections.

Hopefully the box grid will be straight enough. Don’t have a table saw, so I’m stuck using a circ saw and a guide.

It will end up flatter than mine for sure!

Okay, a rant on saw guides. This shitty one from Home Depot should be avoided at all cost!
It creates bowed cuts. The ends are the right length, but the centers get shorter cause the aluminum is too narrow and unsupported. So you get gaps if you have to butt two boards together.
This one from Lowe’s clamps to the board, so it pulls itself into tension, and doesn’t bow. It’s also thicker so it doesn’t tend to bow by itself.
Table box is done though. Waiting for the glue to dry. Using gorrilla glue and 2" staples to hold it together.

Good tip, I have the first one, I need to take a look at the tension one.
It’d be cool if plywood was actually all the same thickness… The two pieces that make the top and bottom panels are about a 16th of an inch different thickness. Luckily it’s about to rain, so I sanded the crap out of it, then used the leaf blower to blow the garage out into the driveway. Wind and rain will get rid of all the dust. Need to go pick up some poly to coat everything so it doesn’t swell.

Feels good knowing you are almost back in action!
Hey Barry,
Totally not on topic, but I saw your weather map and had to comment.
We were in your neck of the woods just a couple weeks ago. Took the RV to a park in Wildwood, went kayaking and snorkling in the Crystal River and took an airboat ride with “Wild Bill’s”.
Nice area. Was a fun trip.
We did a little scuba drift dive in the Crystal River a few years ago, too. What an amazing natural resource.
Table is looking good! I have a tension saw guide similar to yours and it works well.

I need to rebuild my mpcnc to cut the side plates. Three fails in a row trying to print them. Think I have a funky roll of filament.

It’s dangerous to go alone! Take this.
