Neither... Speedball Super Black India Ink. For how I used it go to Black & White Wide Screen TV Stand in the regular gallery in the KNOTS forum. I had to do a bit of home-work as I have never ebonized this much volume at once. Sorry to get back late but I spend about every day in the shop and get by here when I can..

Did I miss a turn somewhere while I was napping..?

There's a reason I avoid forums on April 1st like the plague.. ha.. ha... ha..ha..ha..

Unusual.. in a good way!

WELL DONE.. with capitals...

Excellent work BK..

Looks great.. nice job of inter-twining the grains in the top!

I built one yesterday as I noted I would waiting for a glue-up to dry. Took an hour and a half. Made my main table 22" wide as my 5 HP TS has a wide table. Gives me 30" cross-cut capacity. Added a wooden palm handle on the back attached with double sided carpet tape. This allows a 22" cross-cut with palm handle and can be removed easily on the rare occasion I go over.

Again.. brillian idea by Rob. Thanks....

Very clever idea.. especially with wide stock as the need for rear support on a fence rear type is built into the design. If someone is concerned as Jake about reaching forward the matter can be resolved simply by using a tall riving knive on your saw or a tall splitter.. drill a few holse in it and attaching a home-made Crown Gaurd to the top as I do on my 5 HP without riving knife.

As a matter of fact.. I need to cross-cut an 18" small table top this morning so... I'll take a hour and build one.

Again.. very clever idea to mount the fence forward. Why didn't I think of that?

Excellent design.. execution and beutiful end results, Ed.

Well done and very eloquent. Probably a bit too eloquent for my shop as I'm in there 5 days a week finding ways to nick.. scratch.. and batter the fixtures. But.. none the less an extremely impressive build.

Absolutely outstanding labor of love. You hve about 1/4 as many hand-cut DT's as I have done in 38 years in this project. When I first saw this project elsewhere.. my first thought was it was a custom kitchen project. When I saw that it was for a shop I was somewhat shocked.

The fact you did most with hand-tools makes the build even more impressive. And impressive is just one of many choice adjectives that could describe it as I'm not sure there are enough for this build.
