  • How about a coffee table that once served as a portable platform to shear the wool from sheep? We're not sure how well it worked at that task, but Norm reinvents it as a handsome platform for books, plants, puzzles, canapes, and all the other things that clutter today's coffee tables. This is definitely a conversation piece. Made of recycled pine, this unusual table is easy to make and comes with a good story.

    For those of you following the program in the original broadcast order, the Deluxe Router Station (episode 1 of season 15) was posted when we first launched the channel. You can view it here: ua-cam.com/video/UaDv7bzOM94/v-deo.html

      I purchased all the plans for my future shop save for the Garage Workshop. The other projects I purchased are in a different binder.

    I'm going to guess that the table was to hold the fleece after shearing, not to hold the sheep during shearing.

      I feel like bending over all day shearing is a no go. Put the animals up where you can get at them

    Yeah. Never sheared on a table. This probably an eu thing or some farmer thing.
    Weve been shearing similar to the way we do now for a long long time

      The only way I Ahearn is with a table pretty much like this one. I have a bad back and I built the table 35 years ago and it's still got a other 35 years left In it . I shear between 350 to 400 sheep per year.

    Before we use any power tools, let’s talk about shop safety. Be sure to read, understand, and follow all the safety rules that come with your power tools. Knowing how to use your power tools properly will greatly reduce the risk of personal injury. And remember this: There is no more important safety rule, than to wear these, safety glasses.

    Hmm, even those square cut nails can really chip off a few teeth on a table saw blade, and a dado head, which I've heard in part 1 of Table Saw 101, are very expensive for you, Norm, huh?

      From what I can see I think Norm only uses Freud saw blades. Excellent blades but you are correct. They aren’t cheap.
