Have you considered building something more simple and less costly before
building the work bench? I ask, as you state the 'router has not yet

Thank you for your concern. In answer to your question, I have not a
decent place to sit in my shop, nor does my new grider/grinding wheel nor
my bench planer. I've been saying for a few months I just want to
get out there and cut some joints!

Motivated by J. Clarke's post yesterday, I've been envisioning my routing
jig throughout the day--not too hard since the router just has to be able
to slide back and forth--with no wobble! I'll block each end, and perhaps
on top of adjacent fourbyfours and use lots of clamps. Too bad I don't
have a DP or TS--I do have a circular saw I picked up at an auction a few
months ago for $7. Hope the blade's sharp! : )

I've got a few projects going on at the same time--sometimes it's too much
fun! I crawled around in the attic yesterday, installing my new
lighting is going to be too much fun (NOT)! : )

BTW, where did this new expression "Just sayin'..." come from? I've been
seeing it in a number of places lately.
