Well since my sinus surgery two weeks ago today, I snuck out to the shop yesterday for a little R&R away from all of the R&R. During my time on the couch I bought a router, router table, and router table plate. Glad I am back at work cause this being off was getting expensive. I had to get back in the dust "with a mask of course" and start putting my newfound toys Tools together. I had to get my son to do all of the lifting "thanks to my son 02Ranger on this site" except at Lowes I waited 20 minutes for them to load sheet goods, which did not bother me because if you gotta have help, you gotta give help time to get there. I am glad to slowly be able to get back in the shop even if it is for limited activity. The router table is not finished yet but at least it is started on.







And that is the Milwaukee 5625-20 router.

Thanks for looking!!

Looking good, Tracy. Be sure to keep that "snorkel" free of dust, man. Give everything time to heal. Glad you're doing so well.

Router table looks nice!

Tracy, that looks like a fitting home for your new "therapy". Are you going to add drawers and doors to it?
I am glad to see you back at it again

Honestly Honey, that will cost around $100 $150 $200, and I need a few more tools.

Yup, gonna add a lower drawer and shelf and probably an upper door to hide the router accessories.

It is going great, had to fall back on Chantix but anything that helps is worth every penny spent.

Fine looking start to a router table, including mobility! What kind of casters did you put under the cabinet?

Benefit of wearing a mask: You can't smoke Keep up the good work in that department as well.

Glad you're feeling better, Tracy. Just don't over-do it. Give things a chance to heal up nicely.
You Rock on the tool gloats too!!! I guess the downtime wasn't too bad, huh?

Tractor supply had some rubber tired casters in two inch size, actually worked out well using 4 swivel casters that way I can steer it any where I want to put it.

Thank you for the ROCK, I find the more I do the longer the healing takes, so I am taking it easy.

Tried several no smoking remedies in the past and Chantix does absolutely ROCK

Tracy,

I'm glad to hear you're back at it again! The router table is looking great so far and I'm sure you'll be back to not draining you bank account full speed soon!

You ROCK!

Trent
