New additions to the shop

Even while I am studying at Don Bosco, I keep upgrading my shop:

I got a small Dewalt planer / thicknesser. It handles boards up to 250 mm wide - Need to get a vacuum system soon, because I now spend too much time sweeping the floor.

Also, I made a router table, following advice from various websites, and especially the fine book by Yeung Chan (Classic Joints with Power Tools - recommended!)

I put the big Freud router underneath

Detail showing the fine aluminium router plate from Sauter Gmbh in Germany (I don’t like phenolic materials) and the nifty Freud bit height adjustment above the plate - no fumbling beneath the table!

The next, and probably last, machine I need is a table saw. I will probably get the Mafell Erika 85 push-pull saw. Expensive (German quality), but I think it is worth the expense.
