Damon Alexander Woodwork

Join me on Part 2 of my ultimate workshop build! If you’re into DIY, renovations or building your own dream workshop space, then you’re in the right place!

What do you think? I wanted to accent the base, so chose to laminate hard maple between walnut for some contrast. I'm happy with the results of the base - even more happy with how flat the top is and the chamfer profile of the top edges! Hopefully this is constructed well enough for seasonal wood expansion, which is my biggest worry. I have the top attached to the base via centerline dowels and slotted carriage bolts. The top has C channels, which I hope I did correctly!

Tool Review

Read the review of the Milwaukee Dust Extractor on Popular Woodworking, Which may be a slightly cheaper alternative to Festool

Tool manufacturers are constantly benchmarking their competitors when developing new tools. So for years now, Milwaukee has been looking at the latest from, say, DeWalt and trying to make a tool that surpasses whatever they’ve cooked up.
