No paint on the cabinet...it'll be Brazillian Rosewood veneer with a french polish finish.

Undecided on how to do the top. Will be experimenting with some finishes today in between bouts of coughing my lungs up.

A bit more progress on the router table. Making up first of the drawers. These are the bit drawers.

What Happened to the Brazillian Rosewood Veneer

Maybe it doesn't match the router's colour?

An update on the router table. The project has turned into a bldi monster. There are still 3 more drawers to be made up for left side of the table. Top had had three coats of tung oil applied and will be finished off with paste wax. I f**d up location of the dust port but it'll still work. The plans called for three large drawers on lower deck of the table but I cant be bothered and cost is already blowing out.

Rob....a close up of the zero volt switch included.

Its coming along nicely Martin. I hope you have that beast on castors.

Looks good, nice and solid.
Sure is no lightweight router table, paint the base grey and people who give you a hand moving it will think you have a cast iron base
Are you going so suck dust away at the fence as well.

Yes there'll be a T piece at the dust port at rear and a 2" line up to the fence.

If I was doing it again I wouldnt use MDF for the carcass.....ply would be the go. Dados dont work too well on MDF.

At least its not some big cabinet. and it suits what you have used it for.
I think every one should build at least one thing ,cabinet or box ,out of MDF to turn them off the Sh**t forever
Imagine doing a wardrobe out of it !!
Of the manufactured boards, the main thing it has going for it in cabinet work is that it can have mouldings run on it. And these can be painted or polished. chipboard or ply out perform it in a lot of other ways.

Yay for solid wood next time I go bush I think I will plant a tree or two. In the mean time I will go out the back and have a pee on my lemon tree

The standard switch is out of stock at present with new stock due in circa July 13th. The deluxe switch with illuminated buttons is in stock and this is the one on my table.

Well that sucker won't be walking across the floor when in use! A nice solid unit

We use a lot of MDF at work Rob for various things, shelves, boxes e.t.c. It's not my material of choice either! It's the only...lets call it 'wood product' for the want of a better description, that I wear a face mask with any time I've got it in my hands. It really affects my sinus's to the point they feel like they're burning & you have to apply a whole tin of varnish to the edges. The only thing it has going for it is it's in sheet form for convenience of size. We had our building refurbished about 10 years ago & they turfed out many of the solid Rimu bookcases & cabinets in favour of this stuff .

+1 on the PPE when working with MDF...the dust is hazardous.
