What's On Your Workbench?

This looks pretty clean to me, and could be easily enough done with a drill bit and some BBs. Nice.

Totally agree with a tactile indicator. I've always wanted to address this. I think the answer is sliding an indicator into a slot into a finished knob and hoping that your glue 1) is somehow on the surface area correctly after pushing it in, and 2) doesn't bond until the indicator is perfectly in place, and 3) cleans up nicely.

I want to try that but it'll take me some skill building and practice. My compromise was a raised dot:

Ouch. I hate to think what it took to cause that. LMI packs things very well in my experience.

The box was really mangled. Crumpled and chunks of cardboard were missing. The carbon rods and fretwire that were also in the box are fine though.

Oh I think that could be repaired but still go after compensation or replacement:thumbsup:.

I called LMI and they are re-making the board for me. Top notch customer service.
 

~yipes~ I had USPS shipping damage only once but it was because of the person who boxed it. (a cheap Epi EB-0 in a box devoid of any padding) Arrived with the hs broken off the neck. That (your) box looked like a concerted effort to destroy whatever was inside. :rollno:
 
More shop organization and prep work for the building season. I've always kept my router bits in a plastic tray that never had a permanent home. I was constantly moving it from one place to another to get the bits out of the way.

Finally it occurred to me that I could utilize the dead space at the bottom of my router table frame for additional storage. So, I framed it in and made 3 drawers for all things router-accessory-related. I used scrap ply and an old shelf for bit holders. Better late than never, I guess. :D

That’s something I should have done ages ago as well. Maybe some day...
