    Bott Kennedy

    Found what I believe to be a Bott Kennedy, I scored it for 150. Very nicely made box, only one drawer opens at a time. Not as deep as the Lista, Vidmars, but a great score over all. There was a bottom plate by the wheels that got broken off, it was too mangled to try and put back.

    Tilt base for mid size router

    This is a tilt base I made over the weekend. Its for a specific job I have, I will set it up with a trammel arm to swing a radius on an angle. This is version 1.0 I'm sure improvements will come. I need to start looking for a better drill press, mine has too much run out.
