Are the 6x9s in the package shelf? If so you could build you up some spacers out of mdf. 2 Layers of 3/4 will give you 1.5".

Thats weird. The site admins are some pretty cool people. Well hopefully you can get the help you need on here.

I'm glad it turned out good for you. I wish I would have seen ur post sooner so I could offer more help. Fiberglassforums.com is also a really helpful site with a lot of cool people u may want to check that out. Lemme know if u got any more questions and ill see if I can help. FG is one of the...

I dont know if its been mentioned already but heres a small tip I learned that will help you out a ton: Get a 1/4" roundover bit or even a rabbeting bit for you router and cut a groove around you edges and your sub rings that you can staple your fabric into. For the roundover bit you just set it...

Glad I could contribute something to the site.

The shelf brackets are from Woodcraft. I like them because they lock into place automatically when you lift the wings and they have a tab you press in to let them down. I am going to order another set just to have on hand...

Yeah. That was part of the convenience factor. Just flip it up and it's ready to go.

So youre saying have a fixed shelf the saw sits on with a hinged cover basically? So I would then have to pick the saw up and set it on the shelf? And where would you store the saw? The empty space below it?

What grinder did u end up gettin?

Rotates on (2) 3/8" bolts. Locks in place with (2) 1/4" eye bolts

If you hadnt said this was your first woodworking project, Id have guessed you did this for a living. Great job.

Ideally, sandblasting it would be the best option. Maybe call around and see what it might cost to have it done. Ive never priced it myself. If not then you could use some aircraft stripper. That is also a long messy process. I would definitely invest in a good angle grinder. Not just for this...

1. It's not really a drawer front. It's the back of the box that the saw sits on. The handle is there to help rotate the saw up into position. 2. Improvents I'd make: I'd start with better plywood. I'd make the cabinet more study with a face frame or something to help keep the sides from...

The saw is nice. I chose Hitachi because my 4-1/2" angle grinder and my orbital sander are both Hitachi and theyre great. I also got it on sale for around $100. For my limited use it does great and I have no complaints about it. It sure beats the heck out of using a circ saw and speed square...
