Maybe you can send some photos to our favorite Wood Whisperer (that's you, Marc), and he can update the post? Or if I can impose on him to forward them to me. Or you can send directly to me at thewoodwhisperer at (nospam!) ett-idesystem.se, but then everyone else won't benefit. That's funny about the tapers, it is really impossible to see which side they are on in the photos. Tim, you're going to hate the latest issue of Woodworking Magazine... they have a painted dry sink on the cover. Dustin, Cool – that’s the reason I want to do the same thing.

Mattias - I probably have another photo of the tablesaw / router table storage combo thing. It is really a rolling chest with 2 drawers and dust collection for the tablesaw. I ditched the base and made this so everything is more mobile. Marty - The photos are deceiving, and the tapers are on the insides (the outside parts of the legs are square). I had to look at the pictures again to see that. I am sitting at the table now and had to look down to see if I put it together wrong.

Nice choice and an excellent look! I have a design question, why did you choose to taper the outside edges of the table legs? Nothing beats the combo of maple and walnut.

That's what I have been doing to my outdoor shed project. other than that, I would consider painting wood a sin.

And congratulations on converting your wife the beauty of wood!! Paint has it's places and purposes, but on top of maple and walnut is NOT the place. Excellent work, Dustin.

Don't know that I'd get much work done sitting at that table though... the wood on that top would be awfully distracting. Nice clean, simple line. Beautiful work Dustin.

Good use of the wide board. I can't imagine how painful the thought of maybe putting paint on it must have been. By the way, do you have another shot of the table saw contraption you have in the background? I am thinking of getting rid of my mobile base in favor of a roll-around box like that.
