I while back I found a tutorial that shows you how you can create a stealth drive and not have to rewire a new button placed somewhere else on the tower. They used a small square piece under the cover plate over the eject button. Here is the link ----------> Lego Stealth Drive.Quote:

It took a couple of hours to build this fence. Once it was built I used its accuracy to cut the miter trough.
That's my daughter helping out put the miter trough in place and yes it fits like a glove.
Once it was anchored it tested satisfactory.
Daylight began to leave us so all the work stopped, but not before we started to cut the new plate in.
The old router table was removed from the frame and the new was secured to it. Now I will take and complete the router lift insert and its a new router table. I will use the old one on the table saw for additional router setup. I did all this to clear my mind and get back to that I need to do and that is finish the computer case. I will be able to use this more accurate fence for better cuts and alignments.
Great job JG! I know that whatever you go with it will look good! You have great taste and skills my friend! Take care!

I took some time off to create a new tool for my wood working. It started off as a minor mod (much like our computer cases) and grew from there. Remember the start:
I wanted to have a little better control over my work so I started to design a new and better one.
I added the new router fence system from Incra. But the table just didn't thrill me. Sooooooooooo
I found an old table being thrown away with a 1 1/8" top. Now thats my kind of top when its all wood.
Created an addition to the table for storing routers and other options. Added some drawers for storage and dumped the 2nd table top for the newest.
Aligned the fence to the router insert.
Removed all the hardware, sanded the top and added a touch of finish and what did I get?
Now I can really have some fun here. I will be resuming my quest on my computer case.
Extremely nice! + rep
:eek:
Now that looks pimp. +rep for sure!
Damn, gotta spread it around again!
After seeing that who the hell would want a pre-made router table?!
+rep
Thats what I thought! I watched Norm Abram build his and thought that I could do one too. Thank youQuote:

I was able to do some work here to get the trim moving forward.
After the blanks were routed...
They were cut to size and attached.
great work as always tale gunner!
hope theres nothing serious wrong with you, get well soon!
Me too. I already had a bad year don't need any more. Thank youQuote:

Not that hot. But soon everything should be back to normal. I have had a MRI and EEG. I have to go to our Cardiologist next.Quote:

Hey TG I wish you the best of luck with your health. Its the most important thing. How are we going to live through your mod if you're in the hospital?
I'll have my son finish it :) Not really but he has helped me. I will get it done I promise.
Dude, take your time and worry about your health. Modding comes later. *wife talk*Quote:

How many hours I spent watching New Yankee Workshop growing up. Everything he made always fit **perfectly** ... the first time. Definition of the Master Craftsman and workmanship to aspire to. :rolleyes:Quote:
