Yep
Readers of the guitar thread might recognise these inlays - used one on my first build 2 years ago (tele). A friend in Tasmania since sent me some wood for an acoustic, which I hope to start soon. Huon pine (top), Tas blackwood, tiger myrtle, and sassafras, I think. It’s been sitting downstairs under weight acclimatising to Qld humidity for a year. Time I did something with it, so I ordered the inlay plus 2 spares.

Won’t be tested fully for another week.
I think this will do the job.
Really glad I made a base for the Router.
Despite the noise on the YT short, the pine glides over the steel tracks with a touch of Beeswax polish.
Good call on the spoilboard router bit.
Got this one off Amazon for $31 and it’s a beast compared to the crapola I was using !

Really nice work, @bltn. That’s a good sled and I appreciate the wider base for the router to keep it from being top heavy.
Next step is to put those sides on linear rails

You can buy the cnc dust skirt on Amazon/aliexpress/temu. Use that around your sled and you are going to contain most of the dust. Couple that with a hole for your dust extractor/vacuum to sit in and you should be able to comfortably control most of the dust.
Couple that with these
and this
And that would have you covered in the slab flattening business for a long time I reckon.
I have all of the above. Whilst it can help with collecting some dust at the source, I’ve found I’m still doing a lot of cleanup afterwards, hence why I don’t bother.
Mask, sweep, vacuum and then blowout in that order

150cm Outdoor Garden Bench.
Only the 1st coat of Varnish applied (2 to go).
Can make pretty much any colour combo.
Not sure what the weight capacity would be ?
Feels rock solid though…

Good stuff, I reckon that would hold a few tons. 7times90by35?
Framing Pine 90 x 45
The spacers (in dusty orange) are 90 x 21
Solid as, you could park a car on that.

All systems go in the Irons workshop for Christmas. No elves on shelves to help here.
Picture frame by Irons and photograph commissioned but not taken by Irons. For Mrs Irons.
And a Modular Art Easel for the niece. The race is on to have all sanding, oiling and waxing done in time.
