Check out my progress and a question

FWIW, I agree with todd 5/4 would look better. 3/4" is so mundane. I try to avoid using it whenever I can.

It is a good saw. I think I am ready for an upgrade though!

I think it is a little funny that we both moved the two side extension wings to the left side and put in a router table on the right! I thought I was being original with this saw when I did that! :)

Thanks for the feedback...

It is all in how you treat the edges. With the right profile router bit you can make the 3/4" appear thicker or thinner.

Geez, did you stay gone long enough. LOL Did that kitchen get the best of you?

BTY I built a butcher block table that had legs that were longer than the door was wide. Tip the table 90 degrees and go out with the bottoms of the legs and clock around with the bottom of the opposite legs coming out last.

Clock the table so that the top is vertical and then start with the bottoms of the legs going out first. You will figure the rest out at that point.

How can you work in that shop?!?!?!?!?!

Comeon, there ain't a speck of sawdust anywhere.....I bet you just collect tools, right?

For what its worth, I came to the same basic conclusion as Todd before reading down this far. IMO, the top will look weak at 0.75~0.8". And, going 6/4 would alleviate the issues related to strength.

Thas $0.04 now...:)

How many books do you plan to pile on it? Bugs

Agreed - to a point. With a slight taper it will appear somewhat thicker. However, 3/4" is still boring. Todd could still add a edge/skirt to the top to make it appear heavier.
