The New Cutting Bench

The students and I are always working to make the shop better.  One of the things we were always fighting with was our old cutting table.  The surface was getting very beat up, it wasn't wide enough, it didn't go to the wall so all the sawdust fell behind, and the miter-saw sat on top of the table in the way of the radial arm saw.  Generally no good. 

well, when they remodeled the library at the school I snagged some of the old cabinets and counter tops.  This is what we did with them!
