Coffee Table - Part 2

Coffee table is completed and "delivered".  The original stain was not dark enough, so I ended up painting the table-top with General Finishes Black Milk Paint, followed up with a layer of brown gel-stain, and then topped off with a few coats of wiped on polyurethane.  The legs came from ModernLegs.com, and were very simple to install.  While this was an incredibly easy project, the results were perfect.

Jet Planer

I was fortunate to have a friend come across an incredible deal on a used 3hp 16" Jet Planer that is 10 years old, and appears to have not been used in many years.  There was a lot of surface rust, a few parts missing, and everything was out of calibration.  I spent over 10 hours cleaning the rust and attempting to get everything calibrated.  I was able to purchase a replacement dust hood, new knives, some bolts and I am just waiting on delivery of the knife gauge tool so that I can get the new knives installed.  I expect that there will be some additional adjustments necessary, but all in, I spent around $350...not too shabby for a $1,600 machine!

Medicine Cabinet

This cabinet was built with the "scraps" from the bookshelf build.  The size of the scraps somewhat dictated the size of the cabinet, primarily the left-over piece of 1/4" Walnut plywood for the back-panel was only 16" wide.  The cabinet construction is similar to the bookshelves using the Festool Domino.
