Hello all, sorry I have not posted in awhile. I had this idea to make a work station that included a router table on one end and on the other a cutting station that would include my table saw, all on a mobile base. Well, I ordered two plans from Norm, also spoke to several people here about wood. D.Gillie kindly sold me a couple of boards for the trim. I visited a local wood distrubutor that Gillie told me about and bought luaun ply, which was cheaper than regular ply at Lowes. Well I completed the mobile base and started on the router table. See link: http://ncwoodworker.net/gallery/browseimages.php?c=497 for pictures.
As I was working, I decided if I were going to build this why put an $80 saw in it. So, I started reading reviews on table saws and decided the Ryobi was best for me, bang for the buck. I bought the saw, (small gloat) and decided I don't want to mount it into a table now. That is why it is just a Router table project now. I will end up using the mobile base to build a flip top table to hold my planer and jointer, (see insominac's idea, great job by the way!) As far as the finish goes, I have be doing some test coats of tung oil.
I will keep everyone up to date. I look forward to your thoughts.
