In this issue, we have a couple of projects that prove, when it comes to woodworking, you can take it with you.

For starters, check out the Knock-Down Workstation featured on page 32. This entire dual-height workstation is easy to build and inexpensive. All you need is one sheet of plywood and some two-by material. Then, once the basic project is complete, you can add up to six different accessories. Each one is portable, practical, and will help you get the most out of your tools no matter where you need to work.

While I'm on the subject of portable, be sure and take a look at the Portable Hobby Chest that begins on page 26. It's part workbench, part toolbox, all rolled into one.

Router Table Upgrades. It's no secret — I think a router table is a "must-have" tool for any shop. But we're always looking for ways to make it better. So we've put together three upgrades to make this tool work harder.

The first is the Router Sled shown on the front cover. This shop-built jig allows you to make safe, precise cuts ever}' time.

Second, if you've ever wanted an easy, accurate method for raising and lowering your router, be sure to read the article on page 38. There you'll find the inside story on router lifts.

Finally, on page 8, we'll show you how to turn your router into a jointer. All you need is a strip of brass and a carbide straight bit.
