Almost done with my Sanford & Son table

[Southerngunner]

I have finally completed my homemade table  and cabinet. My build is done except  for a couple lights which has been ordered. 

Now I need to start sewing a bunch of scraps so that I can get used to the machine.

I built a drawer and a pull out shelf. 

I won't be moving this much as it weighs a ton , but it doesn't shake,vibrate, or move around and the machine is solid and smooth when running

Paint the cupboard gray to match the rest of it, THEN it will be finished.

Maybe later but for now I am tired of messing with this thing.

I personally like the natural wood and its contrasting with the rest of the machine.  (I did mine like that.)  That is some really nice work!  Now its time to enjoy using it.

Awesome set up. Good work.

Thanks, I kinda like the look myself. I bought the servo motor, pullys,belts, and 1 sheet of 3/4" plywood so I'm in it under $300.  Everything else I already had and it has been paid for a long time ago( I don't throw good stuff away) so I don't count it in the tally. Including the cost of the class 26 the total is well under $1600 and of course all of my time is really cheap.

 Yep, I'm the same, much to my wife's dismay. A friend recently asked if I could have a look at a faulty dropsaw that belonged to her cleaning lady. Turned out that one of the carbon brushes had broken off and wasn't making contact with the commutator. Normally this would mean a cheap saw like this would just be thrown away, but I have a selection of carbon brushes salvaged from trashed motors so it was a simple job to grind one to fit.

I'm olde school and enjoy fixing things (I've got quite the reputation as a "fixit-man" at my wife's church ).
